PREFATORY  NOTE 

Although  the  editing  of  this  volume  has  been  decid- 
edly a  labor  of  love,  it  has  been  attended  by  difficul- 
ties of  a  most  perplexing  kind.  He  who  undertakes 
to  gather  and  publish  records  at  once  invites  trouble 
and  criticism.  It  can  only  be  said  that  every  effort  has 
been  used  to  make  the  list  of  men  in  service  accurate 
and  complete,  and,  whenever  it  is  discovered  that  a 
name  has  been  omitted,  it  will  usually  be  found  that 
the  fault  does  not  lie  entirely  with  Phillips  Academy. 
Circulars,  return  postcards,  and  letters  have  been 
sent,  at  one  time  or  another,  to  every  person  on  the 
address  list  of  the  school ;  and  no  avenue  of  approach 
to  military  and  naval  data  has  been  left  untraversed. 
The  most  difficult  problem  has  been  to  decide 
where  to  draw  the  line  in  including  men  in  service.  If 
every  Andover  man  who  contributed  in  some  way  to 
winning  our  victory  were  mentioned,  this  book  would 
certainly  have  to  be  enlarged  to  several  volumes.  It 
was  necessary,  therefore,  to  draw  a  formal  and  tech- 
nical line  between  civilians  and  those  who  wore  the 
uniform  of  our  government.  Red  Cross  and  Y.  M. 
C.  A.  workers  have,  however,  been  included,  under 
separate  headings.  Adherence  to  this  principle  unfor- 
tunately forbids  the  inclusion  of  such  distinguished 
graduates  as  Professor  James  Hardy  Ropes,  Mr. 
James  G.  Neale,  Mr.  Frederick  C.  Walcott,  Mr. 
Sanford  H.  Freund,  Judge  William  H.  Wadhams, 
Mr.  Vance  McCormick,  Mr.  George  F.  Smith,  Mr. 
George  B.  Case,  Mr.  F.  Abbot  Goodhue,  and  many 

9 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

others  whose  work  in  various  governmental  capacities 
of  a  civilian  character  has  been  notable. 

The  editor  is  under  much  obligation  to  Dr.  Alfred 
E.  Stearns,  Mr.  Alfred  R.  Ripley,  and  Mr.  James  C. 
Sawyer  of  the  Trustees,  and  to  Mr.  Horace  M.  Poyn- 
ter  and  Mr.  George  T.  Eaton  of  the  Faculty,  for  im- 
portant and  grateful  assistance  in  the  preparation  of 
these  records.  He  feels  a  special  debt  of  gratitude  to 
Professor  Charles  H.  Forbes,  who  undertook  to  carry 
on  the  Academy  War  Record  when  the  editor  was 
absent  from  Andover  in  the  military  service.

"  To  speak  of  Fame  a  venture  is. 

There's  little  here  can  bide. 
But  we  may  face  the  centuries, 

And  dare  the  deepening  tide: 
For  though  the  dust  that's  part  of  us 

To  dust  again  be  gone, 
Yet  here  shall  beat  the  heart  of  us, — 

The  School  we  handed  on." 

Andover  Hill  in  the  spring  of  1917  seemed  little 
different  in  architecture  or  landscape  from  what  it 
had  been  in  the  years  immediately  preceding.  The 
great  spreading  elms  still  reached  aloft  to  form  the 
stately  arch  which  remains  the  school's  most  distin- 
guishing feature;  the  buildings,  oddly  combining  the 
antique  and  the  modern,  the  ugly  and  the  graceful, 
nevertheless  blended  picturesquely  to  form  a  scene 
which  will  always  have  about  it  much  that  is  roman- 
tic ;  the  level  lawns  and  playing-fields  stretched  out  in 
wide  expanse,  and  beyond  them,  across  the  valleys, 
one  could  still  catch  glimpses  of  the  immemorial  hills. 
Externally  the  old  Academy  stood  apparently  immu- 
table, unaffected  visibly  by  time  or  circumstance. 
Brick  and  mortar,  trees  and  ridges,  do  not  change 
readily;  only  decades,  or  some  mighty  convulsion  of 
nature,  can  effect  transformations  that  endure. 

Yet  there  was  a  real  change,  of  a  kind  that  comes 
but  seldom  in  a  century  and  then  only  because  of  a 
disturbance  in  the  hearts  of  men.  One  felt  it  in  the  air, 
or  caught  its  echoes  even  before  he  had  mounted  the 
Hill.  A  new  force,  spiritual  but  yet  dynamic,  was 
making  cheeks  glow  and  pulses  beat  more  rapidly.  It 

11 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

led  the  historian  to  hark  back  to  that  day,  more  than 
one  hundred  and  thirty-nine  years  before,  when,  while 
the  nation,  hardly  born,  was  struggling  for  very  exist- 
ence, the  school  too  had  come  into  being,  cradled  in  the 
midst  of  the  passions  of  war.  Now  that  nation,  grown 
to  maturity,  was  once  more  engaged  in  a  contest  for 
human  liberty;  and  the  men  of  Phillips  Academy,  a 
national  institution,  were  reincarnating  the  virtue  of 
its  founders.  With  that  zeal  which  a  righteous  war 
alone  can  inspire,  the  school  of  Samuel  Phillips,  Revo- 
lutionary patriot,  was  preparing  its  sons  to  battle  with 
ApoUyon.  And  so  one  met  on  the  paths  young  fellows 
in  army  khaki,  clear-eyed,  erect,  firm  of  step;  one 
listened  on  holiday  afternoons  to  the  stirring  sound  of 
drum  and  bugle,  beating  out  the  tramp  of  companies ; 
and  one  heard  in  chapel  and  classroom  much  talk  of 
war  and  praise  of  staunch  fighting  men.  A  stupendous 
crisis  in  world  development  had  confronted  civiliza- 
tion, and  the  fate  of  the  country  was  to  rest  largely 
with  its  boys, — boys  like  those  who  for  decades  had 
played  care-free  beneath  the  shadow  of  the  venerable 
oaks  and  elms.  Boys  of  the  same  breed  had  marched 
in  1814  through  the  streets  of  Boston,  shouldering 
picks  and  shovels,  to  work  on  the  city  fortifications; 
and  a  generation  later,  in  1861,  their  children  had 
formed  the  Ellsworth  Guards  to  defend  the  Union. 
This  business  of  1917  was  even  more  serious,  almost  a 
cataclysm ;  but  the  boys  were  not  to  fail. 

Phillips  Academy  cannot,  of  course,  claim  any  spe- 
cial credit  for  its  promptness  in  rallying  to  the  support 
of  the  nation;  a  similar  loyalty  is  common,  we  trust, 
to  all  American  institutions  established  on  democratic 
and  liberal  ideas.  Schools  of  its  type  are  essentially 
American,  with  nothing  exotic  or  alien  about  them.

They  are  sprung  from  native  soil  and  nurtured  in 
American  air.  But  Andover,  unlike  some  other  centers 
of  education,  has  preferred,  when  our  national  honor 
was  involved,  to  lead  public  opinion  rather  than  merely 
to  keep  step  with  it.  Its  Principal,  never  wavering  in 
his  policy  of  keeping  his  school  consistently  true  to  its 
ideals,  took  from  the  beginning  a  position  which  it 
often  required  courage  to  sustain.  The  result  was  that, 
while  some  vacillated  or  temporized,  Phillips  men 
were  getting  ready;  and  when,  on  April  6,  1917,  the 
President's  ringing  Declaration  of  War  voiced  the 
sentiment  of  a  united  people,  these  same  men  were  on 
their  way  almost  before  the  last  syllable  had  ceased  to 
reverberate.  It  is  for  this  reason  especially  that  they 
may  well  have  a  peculiar  pride  in  the  record  of  their 
alma  mater, — a  record  which,  it  is  safe  to  say,  no  other 
American  school  is  likely  to  surpass. 

A  study  of  school  psychology  during  the  anxious 
months  from  July,  1914,  to  April,  1917,  exhibits,  on  a 
smaller  scale,  the  remarkable  evolution  which  turned 
a  land  of  comfortable,  peace-loving  citizens  into  a  huge 
training  camp,  the  business  of  which  was  war.  We  are 
sometimes  likely  to  forget,  in  these  days  of  inter- 
national conferences  and  leagues  of  nations,  how  pro- 
vincial, how  self-centered,  we  were  only  five  short 
years  ago.  European  diplomacy  and  intrigue  were 
then,  for  the  average  man,  if  not  a  sealed  book,  at  least 
a  volume  always  half-closed  and  in  an  untranslatable 
tongue.  When  the  Great  War  broke  out  in  Europe  in 
midsummer,  1914,  even  far-sighted  Americans  failed 
at  first  to  penetrate  to  the  real  causes  and  the  possible 
consequences  of  German  aggression.  It  is  significant 
that,  during  the  previous  four  years  at  Phillips  Acad- 
emy, Prussian  Exchange  professors  had  been  regular 

13 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

members  of  the  teaching  staff;  and  even  in  1914-15 
another  native  German  occupied  a  position  on  the 
Faculty  without  exciting  any  unfavorable  comment. 
In  its  tolerance  and  totally  unsuspicious  attitude, 
Andover  was  not  different  from  thousands  of  other 
communities. 

In  accordance  with  the  terms  of  President  Wilson's 
proclamation  of  August  18,  1914,  surface  neutrality, 
at  least  in  the  classroom  and  in  public  gatherings,  was 
for  some  months  sedulously  observed.  The  clank  of 
iron  heels  in  hapless  Belgium,  however,  together  with 
the  rapidly  accumulating  proof  of  Prussian  atrocities, 
excited  strong  anti-German  sentiment  throughout 
New  England.  But  no  formal  action  of  any  kind  was 
taken,  and  the  abhorrence  of  German  methods  of  war- 
fare and  of  the  wanton  disregard  of  neutral  and  civil- 
ian rights  was  expressed  only  in  homes, — although 
there  vigorously  and  frankly  enough. 

Public  sentiment,  however,  was  gradually,  often  al- 
most unconsciously,  undergoing  a  transformation. 
Andover  was  particularly  fortunate  in  having  General 
Leonard  Wood  as  one  of  the  earliest  interpreters  of 
America's  duty  and  responsibility.  On  November  12, 
1914,  the  Honorable  Henry  L.  Stimson,  ex-Secretary 
of  War  and  a  Trustee  of  Phillips  Academy,  brought 
General  Wood  with  him  to  Andover,  and  that  stal- 
wart and  stout-hearted  soldier  spoke  in  the  Stone 
Chapel.  The  burden  of  his  address  was  the  necessity  of 
immediate  and  thorough  preparation  for  war.  His 
warning  words  fell  too  often  on  deaf  ears ;  but  to  those 
who  look  back  and  recall  his  solemn  injunctions,  he 
seems  like  a  prophet  crying  in  the  wilderness.  As  a 
practical  step  for  schools  to  take,  he  advised  the  estab- 
lishment of  summer  military  camps,  and  Mr.  Stimson

followed  with  an  appeal  for  training  in  rifle  shooting 
as  part  of  the  curriculum.  It  must  be  remembered  that 
Phillips  Academy  had  not,  since  the  Civil  War,  main- 
tained any  properly  organized  military  company.  On 
the  playing-fields  and  in  the  gymnasium,  it  is  true,  the 
boys  had  learned  courage,  persistence,  obedience, — 
the  so-called  martial  virtues, — and  they  had  been 
taught  in  other  ways 

"  To  count  the  life  of  battle  good. 
And  dear  the  land  that  gave  them  birth." 

But  what  was  now  suggested  was  a  systematic  cam- 
paign towards  "preparedness," — the  strange  new 
word  which  was  soon  to  be  on  everybody's  lips.  What 
General  Wood  and  Mr.  Stimson  proposed  was  that 
Phillips  Academy  should  be  ready,  and  on  thoughtful 
minds  their  words  made  a  profound  impression. 

The  gradually  crystallizing  sentiment  of  intelligent 
and  patriotic  Americans  had  a  practical  manifestation 
in  the  movement  for  sending  an  Andover  Ambulance 
to  the  Allied  front.  During  the  fall  of  1914,  through 
Dr.  Stearns's  initiative,  the  sum  of  $750  was  sub- 
scribed, in  three  equal  parts,  by  the  Trustees,  the  Fac- 
ulty, and  the  student  body,  to  provide  a  completely 
equipped  Ford  Ambulance,  for  foreign  service.  So 
far  as  can  be  ascertained,  Phillips  Academy  was  the 
first  American  preparatory  school  to  join  in  this  move- 
ment for  relieving  wounded  soldiers.  What  was  actu- 
ally accomplished  is  told  briefly  by  Mr.  Frank  H. 
Mason,  of  the  American  Hospital  at  Paris,  in  a  letter 
to  Dr.  Stearns: — 

"It  will  doubtless  interest  you  to  know  that  the  Motor  Ambu- 
lance which  you  generously  contributed  to  the  transportation  ser- 
vice of  the  American  Ambulance  Hospital  of  Paris,  bears  your 
name  and  is  numbered  127  of  our  series.  It  forms  part  of  the  sec- 

15 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

tion  of  ten  ambulances  which  was  assigned  in  December  last  to 
duty  with  the  Allied  Army  at  St.  Maurice,  on  the  eastern  portion 
of  the  firing  line,  where  they  have  transported  thousands  of 
wounded  and  rendered  services  so  efficient  and  valuable  as  to  earn 
the  highest  commendation  and  grateful  appreciation  of  the  mili- 
tary authorities." 

The  first  driver  was  Mr.  Eustace  L.  Adams  of  St. 
Lawrence  University,  who  described  most  entertain- 
ingly some  of  the  rough  experiences  through  which  he 
passed.  In  the  autumn  of  1915  the  ambulance  was 
turned  over  to  another  driver,  Mr.  Lawrence  W.  Hitt, 
who,  in  making  a  report  of  his  work,  wrote  in  part  as 
follows : — 

"Car  No.  127  was  turned  over  to  me  in  excellent  condition, 
although  the  engine  had  not  been  overhauled  since  the  April 
before.  When  one  considers  the  kind  of  work  which  the  cars  did 
in  Alsace,  up  hill  and  down,  that  was  an  enviable  record.  More 
powerful  cars  could  do  the  trip,  to  be  sure,  but  they  could  not 
stand  up  under  the  constant  strain.  ...  In  some  spots  the  roads 
are  so  steep  that  pushers  must  be  stationed  there  to  lend  a  helping 
hand.  Fortunately,  Car  No.  127  never  needed  their  aid,  even  with 
a  full  load,  although  many  times  I  had  grave  doubts  whether  she 
would  make  the  crest  or  not.  .  .  .  By  this  time  our  cars  were 
greatly  in  need  of  repairs,  both  the  engines  and  bodies;  so  we 
were  ordered  to  Tantonville,  and  the  cars  were  sent  to  Nancy  in 
groups  of  five,  to  have  the  work  done.  No.  127,  being  one  of  the 
oldest  cars  in  the  section,  was  in  the  first  group.  When  the  repair- 
ing is  complete,  I  hope  to  get  the  old  car  back  and  take  it  through 
the  great  attack  which  is  coming  again  this  spring." 

The  car,  after  some  renovation,  proved  to  be  still  fit 
for  regular  duty,  and  Mr.  A.  Piatt  Andrew,  in  a  letter 
of  December  22,  1916,  gave  facts  to  show  that  its  use- 
fulness was  far  from  being  destroyed: — 

"You  will  be  interested,  I  am  sure,  to  know  that  your  cars 
form  part  of  a  detachment  just  sent  to  the  Vosges  under  rather 
interesting  conditions.  We  have  had  one  or  another  section  work- 
ing over  the  mountainous  roads  in  this  region  for  the  past  twenty

months.  It  was  our  section  3  which  first  developed  the  mountain 
work,  and  which  demonstrated  the  possibility  of  carrying 
wounded  up  and  down  the  mountains  in  regions  where  up  to  that 
time  wounded  had  been  carried  only  on  mule-back  or  in  horse- 
drawn  carts.  Recently  our  last  Vosges  section  was  withdrawn  and 
sent  to  the  Verdun  sector,  but  within  a  week  after  its  departure 
General  Villaret,  in  command  of  the  Vosges  Army,  sent  word  that 
no  other  cars  could  do  the  work  which  had  been  so  long  entrusted 
to  our  cars,  and  asked  if  we  could  not  at  once  send  out  at  least  a 
detachment  of  our  little  cars  to  help  in  this  service.  We  were  able, 
through  the  reserve  of  cars  which  we  have  now  established,  to 
give  such  a  detachment  within  two  days,  and  you  will  be  inter- 
ested to  know  that  your  car  No.  127  formed  one  of  the  detach- 
ment, and  is  therefore  now  rendering  a  service  which  none  of  the 
automobiles  of  the  French  Army  Ambulance  Service  could  have 
rendered." 

The  ambulance  was  driven  throughout  the  winter  of 
1916-17,  which  was  the  coldest  in  the  memory  of  the 
most  ancient  Alsatian  peasant, — so  cold  that  on  two 
successive  mornings  drivers  in  the  section  found  the 
"essence"  frozen  solid  in  the  carburetor.  Not  until 
some  months  later  was  the  car  finally  abandoned.  The 
registration  plate  bearing  the  number  127  was  sent  to 
Phillips  Academy,  where  it  has  been  placed  in  the 
Library  as  a  priceless  relic  of  the  war. 

Mr.  Stimson's  suggestion  regarding  the  formation 
of  a  volunteer  rifle  club  was  considered  on  February  8, 
1915,  at  a  meeting  of  the  Trustees,  who  passed  the 
following  vote : — 

"That  the  Principal  be  authorized  to  carry  out  plans  for  vol- 
untary instruction  in  rifle  shooting  in  the  school  in  accordance 
with  the  scheme  outlined  and  presented  by  Captain  Dorey  of  the 
United  States  Army." 

On  March  1,  Lieutenant  Stockton  of  the  Coast  Artil- 
lery Corps  gave  an  introductory  talk  to  the  boys  on 
the  system  which  it  was  proposed  to  follow.  Nearly 

17 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

one  hundred  enrolled  at  this  first  meeting.  From  the 
War  Department  a  considerable  number  of  discarded 
Krag  rifles  were  secured,  and  sighting  was  taught  on 
istationary  guns  set  up  temporarily  in  Graves  Hall. 
The  Rifle  Club  was  registered  as  a  branch  of  the 
National  Rifle  Association  of  America,  and  work  in 
connection  with  it  was  counted  as  part  of  prescribed 
athletics. 

Interest  in  the  Rifle  Club  increased  month  by 
month.  During  the  fall  and  winter  of  1915-16  nearly 
two  hundred  students  joined  and  took  the  course  of 
instruction.  The  Trustees  gladly  built  an  excellent 
indoor  sub-calibre  range,  seventy-five  feet  long  with 
six  alleys,  in  the  basement  of  Pearson  Hall.  There 
tournaments  were  frequently  held ;  each  member  shot 
under  supervision,  and  his  score,  in  accordance  with 
the  National  Rifle  Association  regulations,  was  care- 
fully checked  by  inspectors.  With  the  establishment  of 
military  training  as  part  of  the  school  program,  the 
rifle  range  became  indispensable  and  was  constantly 
in  use.  During  the  year  1916-17  the  Phillips  Academy 
team  finished  second  in  the  contest  of  the  Massachu- 
setts Association  and  defeated  a  team  from  Exeter  by 
a  score  of  1157  to  1013.  In  the  spring  term  all  who  had 
qualified  on  the  indoor  range  were  allowed  to  shoot  on 
the  outdoor  government  ranges  at  Frye  Village,  the 
distance  being  two  hundred  yards.  In  the  qualification 
trials  on  the  range  at  Wakefield  four  members  of  the 
club  won  the  bronze  badges  of  expert  marksmen,  and 
the  record  of  the  others  was  highly  commendable. 

Meanwhile  a  sense  of  the  critical  nature  of  the  Euro- 
pean conflict,  together  with  some  apprehension  as  to 
our  possible  share  in  it,  was  steadily  developing.  The 
sinking  of  the  "Lusitania"  on  May  7,  1915,  with  the 

18 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  WARTIME 

consequent  tragic  deaths  of  one  hundred  and  fourteen 
American  men,  women,  and  children,  withdrew  from 
any  sympathy  with  the  German  cause  almost  all  those 
who  had  been  wavering  in  their  allegiance.  At  the 
Plattsburg  camps  in  the  summer  of  1916  many 
Andover  men  were  enrolled,  including  Dr.  Page,  Mr. 
Stackpole,  and  Mr.  Poynter  of  the  teaching  staff; 
while  Mr.  Wilkins,  another  instructor,  went  on  the 
Naval  Training  Cruise.  Everywhere  men  were  think- 
ing and  discussing,  getting  ready  to  take  sides  in  what 
was  quite  evidently  a  contest  to  the  death  between 
Ormuzd  and  Ahriman,  the  Prince  of  Darkness.  Al- 
ready, on  July  3,  1915,  one  Phillips  boy,  Antoine 
Henri  Engel,  had  given  his  life  at  the  front  for  his 
native  country,  France.  A  small  group  of  younger 
graduates,  among  them  John  F.  Brown,  Jr.,  '14,  and 
William  H.  Woolverton,  '10,  had  gone  abroad  in  the 
American  Ambulance  Service,  and  were  doing  a  noble 
work  among  the  wounded. 

It  was  these  boys  in  the  Ambulance  Service  who 
first  carried  the  war  intimately  to  the  Hill.  They  wrote 
back  accounts  of  their  experiences  which  brought  home 
the  reality  of  the  horrors  taking  place  on  the  fields  of 
France.  One  of  them,  Julius  H.  Preston,  '14,  who  had 
sailed  for  France  in  February,  1916,  talked  quite 
casually  about  his  adventures : — 

"I  was  called  out  about  ten  o'clock  the  other  evening  to  go  up 
to  one  of  the  dangerous  posts  for  four  seriously  wounded  men. 
We  drove  for  nearly  eight  miles  in  sight  of  the  German  trenches. 
The  road  is  used  only  at  night,  and  then  we  have  to  go  without 
lights,  and  on  stormy  nights  some  one  has  to  walk  ahead  of  the 
car  so  that  we  won't  run  into  a  shell  hole.  I  got  these  four  men, 
but  one  of  them  died  in  the  car,  before  I  could  get  him  to  the 
hospital,  and  one  of  them  bled  nearly  all  the  way  and  filled  the 

19 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

car  full  of  blood,  which,  considering  it  was  about  three  in  the 
morning  before  I  got  back,  gave  one  a  sort  of  eerie  feeling." 

Another  ambulance  driver,  J.  Radford  Abbot,  '09, 
sent  a  graphic  story,  printed  in  the  Phillips  Bulletin, 
January,  1917,  in  which  he  described  nerve-racking 
rides  over  roads  torn  by  bursting  shells.  His  poste  was 
located  in  a  town  of  which  nothing  remained  but 
crumbling  walls: — 

"The  only  thing  standing  above  six  or  seven  feet  high  was  one- 
half  of  the  church  tower,  which  made  the  place  look  still  more 
ghastly.  It  looked  the  way  I  imagine  Pompeii  did  just  after  its 
destruction.  Directly  behind  the  town  the  sinister  lines  of  a  hill 
were  silhouetted  against  the  sky  under  the  flashes  of  the  rockets. 
I  felt  at  the  time  as  if  the  gates  of  Dante's  Inferno  could  be  found 
in  the  side  of  that  hill.  That  was  Hill  304." 

The  tales  which  these  men,  and  others  like  Alden 
Davison,  '15,  Kimberly  Stuart,  '15,  and  Paul  Tison, 
'14,  had  to  tell  helped  to  dissipate  the  feeling  that  the 
war  was  remote  and  unconnected  with  our  own  every- 
day lives. 

During  the  fall  term  of  1916  the  students  in  the 
Academy  raised  over  $3000  by  subscription  for  the 
benefit  of  soldiers  held  in  German  prison  camps.  By 
this  date  public  opinion,  especially  in  New  England, 
was  beginning  to  express  itself  in  no  uncertain 
phrases.  By  January,  1917,  the  air  was  charged  as  if 
with  electricity,  and  the  German  note  of  January  31, 
announcing  the  immediate  resumption  of  submarine 
warfare,  really  left  for  America  no  choice  but  war. 
The  blood  of  the  nation  was  pulsating  fast  and 
strong,  and  the  people  were  looking  forward,  anx- 
iously but  resolutely,  to  a  twentieth-century  Crusade. 
The  setting  for  the  world  drama  was  almost  complete.

The  Trustees  of  Phillips  Academy,  in  their  meeting 
of  February  12,  voted: — 

"That  the  question  of  providing  some  form  of  military  train- 
ing in  the  school  at  the  present  time  be  left  to  the  Principal  with 
power." 

The  boys  themselves,  encouraged  and  stimulated  by 
Dr.  Stearns's  repeated  denunciation  of  German 
frightfulness,  felt  the  excitement,  and,  when  diplo- 
matic relations  with  Germany  were  broken  off,  they 
consulted  with  him  about  plans  for  doing  their  share 
towards  preparation  for  the  inevitable  conflict.  The 
Advisory  Board,  representing  the  student  leaders, 
presented  a  petition,  asking  that,  for  the  remainder  of 
the  year,  military  training  be  allowed  as  a  substitute 
for  the  usual  prescribed  athletics.  The  Principal  and 
his  Faculty,  after  some  discussion,  approved  the  gen- 
eral tenor  of  the  proposal  and  passed  the  following 
resolution : — 

"That  students  who  desire  to  manifest  their  sense  of  patriotic 
duty  at  this  critical  time  by  entering  upon  preliminary  military 
training  for  the  remainder  of  the  school  year  shall  be  permitted 
to  do  so  in  the  place  of  required  athletics." 

On  Thursday,  March  1,  a  large  and  demonstrative 
mass  meeting  was  held  in  the  Stone  Chapel.  Dr. 
Stearns  was  unavoidably  absent,  but  stirring  ad- 
dresses were  made  by  Dr.  Page,  Mr.  Poynter,  Mr. 
Stackpole,  Professor  Forbes,  and  Dr.  Fuess.  A  gath- 
ering more  in  earnest  has  never  met  on  Andover  Hill, 
and  the  enthusiasm  which  prevailed  was  spontaneous, 
not,  as  is  sometimes  the  case,  carefully  fostered  for  the 
occasion.  The  boys  soon  showed  that  their  spirit  was 
not  to  effervesce  in  shouts  and  applause,  for  more  than 
four  hundred  enlisted  during  the  next  few  days  for 
military  training  and  signed  this  pledge : — 

21 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

"I  hereby  agree  on  my  honor  to  serve  voluntarily  as  a  cadet  of 
the  Andover  Military  Training  Corps,  and  to  receive  and  obey 
all  commands  and  orders  for  the  benefit  of  the  organization,  to 
the  best  of  my  ability." 

Under  the  supervision  of  Dr.  Pierson  S.  Page,  as- 
sisted by  a  number  of  former  Plattsburg  and  Plum 
Island  men  among  the  students  and  teachers,  the  boys 
were  enrolled  in  companies  and  met  for  drill  three 
hours  every  week  in  the  Gymnasium,  the  ground  being 
then  heavy  with  snow.  The  organization  was  chris- 
tened the  "Phillips  Academy  Cadet  Corps,"  and  a 
beautiful  stand  of  colors  was  presented  to  it  by  Clyde 
Martin,  '10.  The  men  moved  rapidly  through  the 
Schools  of  the  Soldiers,  the  Squad,  and  the  Company, 
and  made  some  progress  with  the  Manual  of  Arms, — 
all  this  in  the  few  weeks  before  the  close  of  the  winter 
term.  When,  during  the  spring  vacation,  the  President 
pronounced  his  formal  Declaration  of  War,  Phillips 
Academy  had  the  satisfaction  of  knowing  that  she 
could  boast  of  a  military  unit  not  unworthy  to  repre- 
sent a  great  school. 

On  April  6  the  President  issued  a  proclamation  de- 
claring that  "a  state  of  war  exists  between  the  United 
States  and  the  Imperial  German  Government."  Three 
days  later  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Trustees 
voted : — 

"That  the  use  of  the  grounds  and  buildings  for  such  public, 
services  as  may  arise  be  left  to  the  President  of  the  Board,  the 
Principal,  and  the  Treasurer,  with  power." 

On  April  17,  at  a  full  gathering  of  the  Board  in 
Andover,  the  following  resolution  was  adopted  unani- 
mously : — 

"That  the  Trustees  of  Phillips  Academy  of  Andover,  Massa- 
chusetts, having  in  charge  one  of  the  oldest  and  largest  of  Ameri- 

22 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  WARTIME 

can  endowed  schools,  with  an  attendance  of  over  550  boys, 
strongly  urge  the  prompt  adoption  by  Congress  of  some  measure 
providing  for  universal  military  training." 

Copies  of  this  resolution  were  sent  to  the  President  of 
the  United  States,  the  Secretary  of  War,  the  two 
Massachusetts  Senators,  and  Congressman  John 
Jacob  Rogers  of  the  Essex  district.  Meanwhile  the 
Principal,  at  the  opening  of  the  spring  term,  with  the 
full  concurrence  of  the  student  body,  definitely  aban- 
doned the  schedule  of  athletic  contests,  and  deter- 
mined that,  until  further  developments  made  our 
course  clear,  one  school  at  least  should  devote  itself 
mainly  to  meeting  the  emergency.  This  decision  was 
not  altogether  approved  by  some  members  of  the 
teaching  staff,  and  the  usual  charges  of  "jingoism" 
and  "hysteria"  were  sometimes  made;  but  future 
events  were  such  that  conversions  followed  rather 
rapidly  and  by  June  no  protests  could  be  heard.  Dr. 
Stearns  himself  was  fortunately  no  believer  in  the  in- 
sidious doctrine  of  "school  as  usual,"  which,  at  that 
particular  moment,  was  not  without  its  advocates ;  he 
recognized  that  schools  as  well  as  other  institutions  in 
a  community  must  get  down  to  a  war  basis.  The  boys 
were  warned  to  keep  up  in  their  studies  and  told  that 
it  was  their  patriotic  duty  to  continue  with  their  educa- 
tion; but  the  school  routine  was  also  readjusted  to 
meet  existing  conditions,  and  no  boy  was  allowed  to 
forget  the  responsibility  which  every  citizen,  and  every 
prospective  citizen,  owes  his  country  in  time  of  danger. 
During  the  spring  some  changes,  tending  towards 
increased  efficiency,  were  made  in  the  Phillips  Bat- 
talion. Two  experienced  army  officers.  Lieutenant 
Harry  Frothingham  and  Captain  John  Knowles, 
both  of  Boston,  generously  gave  their  services  as  in- 

23 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

structors.  The  cadets,  at  their  own  expense,  secured 
the  regulation  uniforms  of  cotton  khaki.  Not  enough 
rifles  of  standard  pattern  being  available,  a  large 
number  of  wooden,  or  "Quaker,"  guns  were  made. 
Before  many  weeks  had  passed  the  battalion  was 
executing  with  precision  some  rather  complicated 
maneuvers  on  the  parade  ground.  On  Wedriesday 
and  Saturday  afternoons  simple  military  field  prob- 
lems were  discussed  and  solved,  and  sham  battles  were 
carried  out  over  the  surrounding  country.  After  a 
sufficient  degree  of  proficiency  had  been  attained,  the 
faculty  officers  withdrew  and  left  the  conduct  of  the 
four  companies  entirely  in  student  hands.  On  Memo- 
rial Day,  at  the  invitation  of  the  Andover  Post  of  the 
Grand  Army  of  the  Republic,  the  battalion  paraded 
through  the  streets  as  an  escort  to  the  Civil  War  vet- 
erans, and  made  a  most  agreeable  impression. 

The  Commencement  exercises  in  June  had  an 
undercurrent  of  seriousness  which  was  decidedly 
ominous.  Men  and  boys  alike  were  peering  into  the 
veiled  future,  sometimes  half-fearfuUy,  but  all  with  a 
grim  consciousness  of  the  fact  that  one  more  short 
year  might  bring  with  it  momentous  changes.  An- 
dover Hill  had  caught  the  war  spirit.  The  boys, 
straight  and  khaki-clad,  the  flags  flung  out  from  win- 
dows along  the  Main  Street,  the  flare  of  bugles  and 
the  roll  of  drums,  were  outward  and  obvious  signs  of 
transformation.  A  beautiful  flagstaff,  a  gift,  in  part, 
of  the  student  body,  was  dedicated  on  the  old  training- 
field  in  front  of  the  Treasurer's  house,  where,  more 
than  a  century  and  a  quarter  before.  General  George 
Washington  had  reviewed  the  Andover  militia.  The 
speeches  at  Commencement  rang  with  the  call  to 
arms.  Dr.  Lyman  Abbott,  in  his  Baccalaureate  Ser- 

24 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  WARTIME 

mon,  took  as  his  text, — "I  come  not  to  send  peace,  but 
a  sword."  At  the  annual  dinner,  Judge  William  H. 
Wadhams  dwelt  on  the  meaning  of  our  fight  for 
democracy;  Dr.  Alfred  E.  Stearns  laid  emphasis  on 
the  Academy's  splendid  war  record;  and  Mr.  Fred- 
erick C.  Walcott  spoke  eloquently  in  resentment  of 
German  outrages  which  he  personally  had  seen  in 
Belgium  and  Poland.  It  was  indeed  a  moment  of 
solemn  suspense,  for  our  soldiers  were  not  yet  at  the 
front,  and  no  one  could  say  with  certainty  how  we,  as 
a  nation,  would  play  our  part. 

Already,  however,  familiar  faces  had  gone  from  the 
classrooms.  As  early  as  February,  1917,  Dr.  Stearns 
had  taken  a  few  of  the  more  mature  boys  into  his  con- 
fidence, and  asked  if  any  of  them  would  care  to  join 
an  Andover  Ambulance  Unit,  which  should  carry  the 
name  of  the  Academy  to  the  fields  of  France.  When 
the  news  of  the  project  became  more  widely  known, 
applications  for  membership  came  so  rapidly  that  the 
Principal  had  to  make  a  careful  selection  of  the  most 
promising  men.  The  consent  of  parents  had  to  be  ob- 
tained, and  many  complicated  details  had  to  be  ar- 
ranged. Dr.  Stearns  himself  wrote  letters  to  a  number 
of  generous  Phillips  alumni  asking  for  their  financial 
support  to  the  enterprise ;  for  some  of  the  boys  chosen 
for  the  unit  had  been  working  their  way  through 
school  and  could  not  meet  their  own  expenses.  Eventu- 
ally something  over  $3500  was  secured.  The  following

In  addition,  Mr.  Alfred  I.  Dupont  provided  a  com- 
pletely equipped  ambulance,  at  a  cost  of  $1600,  and 
another  was  presented  to  the  unit  by  the  New  York 
Alumni  Association. 

The  unit,  as  finally  constituted,  was  made  up  of 
twenty-two,  of  whom  two,  Mr.  Frederick  J.  Daly  and 
Mr.  Alexander  B.  Bruce,  were  members  of  the  Fac- 
ulty. Not  one  of  the  others  had  reached  voting  age. 
The  full  story  of  this  Andover  Ambulance  Unit  is  told 
elsewhere  in  this  volume  by  Lieutenant  Daly,  who  was 
given  full  charge.  Had  it  been  possible  to  secure  pas- 
sage, the  unit  might  well  have  been  overseas  before 
our  actual  Declaration  of  War.  As  it  was  it  sailed  on 
April  28,  1917,  exactly  one  hundred  and  thirty-nine 
years,  to  a  day,  from  the  time  when  the  Trustees  of 
Phillips  Academy  held  their  first  regular  meeting,  on 
April  28, 1778.  That  original  group  of  Trustees  would 
not  have  been  ashamed  of  the  record  which  the  boys  of 
the  school  that  they  were  engaged  in  establishing  were 
to  make  long  after  they  were  resting  in  their  graves. 
Four  members  of  the  unit,  "Alec"  Bruce,  "Jack" 
Wright,  Schuyler  Lee,  and  "Bill"  Taylor,  gave  their 
lives  in  the  aviation  service ;  another.  Captain  Harold 
Buckley,  returned  as  one  of  Andover's  two  "aces"  and 
wearing  on  his  breast  the  Distinguished  Service  Cross ; 

26 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  WARTIME 

and  several  others  won  especial  honors  and  decora- 
tions. As  a  whole,  the  Ambulance  Unit  wrote  one  of 
the  most  glorious  pages  in  the  Phillips  Academy 
annals.  Andover  may  well  be  gratified  that  the  fore- 
sight and  patriotism  of  her  Principal  made  her  the 
first  of  the  great  American  schools  to  send  a  unit 
of  this  kind  across  the  Atlantic,  and  that  the  men 
who  represented  her  proved  worthy  of  her  ancient 
traditions. 

In  general,  in  spite  of  some  sincere  and  some  equally 
covert  criticism,  the  Academy  has  had  no  reason  to 
regret  the  policy  which  it  pursued  during  the  spring 
of  1917.  The  abandonment  of  outside  athletic  con- 
tests aroused  some  complaint;  but  the  motive  which 
prompted  this  action  was  entirely  unselfish,  actuated 
simply  by  a  feeling  that,  in  time  of  war,  sport,  impor- 
tant though  it  is  as  a  factor  in  normal  school  life, 
should  yield  to  more  serious  business.  The  Principal 
had  confidence  that  intelligent  people  would  recog- 
nize that,  under  such  circumstances,  it  is  more  helpful 
to  carry  a  rifle  than  a  baseball  bat  and  nobler  to  read 
army  manuals  than  the  sporting  page. 

During  the  summer  of  1917  Andover  graduates 
entered  service  by  the  hundreds.  Several  of  the  teach- 
ers, including  Lieutenant  Daly,  Lieutenant  Bruce, 
Lieutenant  Markham  W.  Stackpole  (who  went  over- 
seas in  the  autumn  as  Chaplain  of  the  102d  Field 
Artillery),  and  Lieutenant  Harold  S.  Wilkins  (who 
had  been  commissioned  in  the  Ordnance  Corps) ,  were 
already  in  uniform,  and  others  were  to  follow  during 
the  year.  The  school,  at  its  opening  in  September,  had 
not  lost  perceptibly  in  numbers,  for,  with  the  lower 
limit  of  the  draft  age  fixed  at  twenty-one,  most 
parents  felt  that  their  sons,  for  some  months  at  any 

27 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

rate,  would  be  better  off  in  the  classroom.  The 
Trustees,  on  June  14,  had  passed  the  following  vote : — 

"That  military  training  be  included  in  the  school  curriculum 
for  the  members  of  the  two  upper  classes,  and  for  all  other  boys 
of  sixteen  years  and  over  whose  parents  do  not  disapprove." 

They  had  also  secured  the  services  of  Major  Robert 
N.  Davy  of  the  Canadian  Army,  as  officer  in  charge 
of  the  military  work  of  the  school.  When  drills 
started  on  October  29,  it  was  found  that  510  of  the 
570  boys  were  enrolled.  The  schedule  provided  for 
three  hours  of  compulsory  military  instruction  a  week. 
Now  that  the  government  program  had  been  out- 
lined, a  few  contests  with  other  institutions  in  athletics 
were  arranged,  although  very  little  time  could  be  given 
to  coaching  and  practice. 

The  progress  of  military  training  through  the  year 
was  most  steady  and  satisfactory.  There  was  little 
friction  and  almost  no  halting  of  the  wheels  in  other 
departments;  the  readjustment  to  war  conditions  was 
made  with  surprisingly  few  disturbances  of  school 
customs  and  traditions.  Major  Davy  proved  to  be 
particularly  skilful  in  lending  variety  and  attractive- 
ness to  tasks  which  can  easily  degenerate  into  drudg- 
ery. When  sufficient  development  had  been  attained 
in  the  fundamentals,  he  formed  special  training 
schools  in  bayonet  fighting,  bombing,  signaling,  trench 
warfare,  and  ambulance  work.  An  officers'  class  for 
advanced  study  was  instituted,  and  met  two  evenings 
of  the  week.  Unusually  interesting  was  the  battalion 
band  of  twenty-two  pieces,  which,  after  diligent  prac- 
tice, was  able,  before  the  year  closed,  to  carry  out  a 
program  of  some  difficulty  with  commendable  success. 

The  military  organization  had,  of  course,  become 
conspicuous  among  school  activities.  The  cadet  uni-

form  of  khaki,  with  the  campaign  hat  and  spiral  put- 
tees, was  seen  everywhere,  and  even  the  Glee  and 
Mandolin  Clubs  were,  so  to  speak,  militarized.  The 
pictures  in  the  Pot-Pourri,  or  Class  Book,  showed  the 
students  always  in  army  garb,  no  matter  what  group 
they  represented.  A  public  exhibition  given  by  the 
battalion  in  the  Gymnasium  on  February  22,  the 
morning  after  the  Winter  Promenade,  attracted  a 
large  crowd,  and  was  actually  astounding  as  a  demon- 
stration of  what  can  be  accomplished  in  drill,  within 
a  short  period,  by  boys  rather  above  the  average  in 
intelligence.  This  exhibition  was  repeated  on  March 
15,  in  the  evening,  before  a  number  of  officers  from 
Camp  Devens  and  the  Southeastern  Department. 

Meanwhile  the  original  battalion  had  been  rear- 
ranged to  form  a  regiment  of  two  battalions,  each 
consisting  of  three  companies,  with  cadet  officers  as- 
suming almost  the  entire  responsibility  for  adminis- 
tration. As  spring  came  on,  a  complete  and  elaborate 
system  of  trenches  and  dugouts  was  constructed  to 
the  east  of  Brothers'  Field.  At  the  close  of  the  Class 
Day  program  in  June,  the  regiment  was  mustered  for 
the  last  time  on  the  training-field,  and  marched  in 
parade  before  Major  Davy  on  the  Main  Campus.  In 
the  evening  the  boys  gave  a  spectacular  demonstration 
of  actual  warfare.  A  party  of  raiders  went  "over  the 
top"  into  No  Man's  Land,  while  rockets  and  star- 
shells  illuminated  the  scene  of  battle.  It  was  a  bril- 
liant close  to  a  remarkably  successful  year. 

Commencement  in  1918,  however,  was  not  without 
its  sadder  features.  The  Honor  Roll  of  those  dead  in 
service  had  already  nineteen  names  upon  it.  Twelve 
members  of  the  Senior  Class  were  in  France;  ten 
others  were  at  training  camps  in  this  country ;  two  had 

29 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

given  their  lives  in  service.  Reference  to  these  facts 
was  made  by  every  speaker.  At  the  Alumni  Dinner 
an  eloquent  address  was  made  by  Colonel  (now 
Brigadier-General)  Marlborough  Churchill,  who  said 
in  conclusion : — 

"There  is  one  message  that  I  can  bring  you  from  those  over 
there.  They  know  that  they  are  just  the  advance  guard  of  you 
men  who  are  coming  later;  and  they  know  that,  if  they  are  wiped 
out,  it  doesn't  make  any  difference,  because  you  are  coming." 

Still  another  step — a  natural  and  logical  one — was 
to  be  taken  in  meeting  the  exigencies  of  the  hour. 
On  January  15,  1918,  the  Trustees  had  passed  a 
resolution : — 

"That  a  special  joint  committee  from  Trustees  and  Faculty 
be  asked  to  consider  the  advisability  of  conducting  a  summer 
session  of  the  school,  with  suitable  military  training." 

The  result  of  this  joint  conference  was  the  establish- 
ment of  a  summer  miKtary  camp,  with  Major  Davy 
as  Commandant.  He  had  exceptionally  able  assistants 
in  Lieutenant  R.  E.  Wyatt  of  the  Canadian  Expedi- 
tionary Forces,  Dr.  Carl  Guthe  of  the  Faculty,  and 
Dr.  Pierson  S.  Page,  who  served  as  Medical  Officer. 
Over  two  hundred*  boys,  three-fourths  of  them  from 
other  schools,  enrolled  for  the  course  of  six  weeks, 
from  July  3  to  August  14.  As  matters  developed,  the 
camp  was  ideally  situated  for  military  purposes.  The 
Main  Campus  was  a  perfect  drill  and  assembly 
ground.  The  dormitories,  Bartlet,  Phillips,  and  Day, 
were  commodious  and  comfortable  barracks.  Pearson 
Hall  was  a  study  and  lecture  building.  The  swimming- 
pool,  the  Gymnasium,  the  Dining  Hall,  and  the  In- 
firmary all  contributed  to  the  comfort  and  the  effi- 
ciency of  the  camp. 

The  boys  who  attended  were  trained,  not  for  child's 

30 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  WARTIME 

play,  but  for  actual  warfare.  With  pup-tents  spread 
under  the  old  elms,  the  campus  resembled  a  small 
Plattsburg ;  and  the  sentinels  posted  at  the  gates  gave 
a  realistic  military  touch.  There  was  a  glamor  also,  a 
bit  of  romance,  when  over  the  playing-fields  on  sum- 
mer nights  there  came  the  melancholy  notes  of  the 
bugle  sounding  "Retreat,"  or  the  beat  of  drums  that 
heralded  a  return  from  a  long  hike.  When  the  camp 
broke  up  and  the  Hill  sank  back  into  its  customary 
summer  slumber,  there  were  those  who  rather  missed 
the  bustle  and  excitement.  But,  before  another  July, 
the  Great  War  was  a  matter  of  history,  and  the  press- 
ing need  for  military  preparation  had  gone  by. 

The  school  which  opened  in  the  fall  of  1918  was 
sober  and  unelate  in  spirit.  During  the  summer  the 
Roll  of  Honor,  inscribed  in  beautifully  illuminated 
letters  on  parchment  by  Mr.  Charles  A.  Parmelee  of 
the  Faculty,  had  been  lengthened  name  after  name 
until  it  recorded  the  deaths  of  many  boys  who,  within 
the  year,  had  been  joining  in  games  upon  the  diamond 
or  the  track.  The  plans  of  the  War  Department  for 
registering  all  those  over  eighteen  years  of  age  were 
naturally  of  consequence  to  Phillips  Academy,  and 
the  Trustees  would  have  been  glad  to  turn  the  school 
definitely  into  a  Students'  Army  Training  Camp.  No 
decision  regarding  secondary  schools  could  be  reached, 
however,  and  the  Academy  opened  its  one  hundred 
and  forty- first  year  much  as  usual,  although  without 
the  considerable  number  of  older  boys  who  have 
usually  meant  so  much  in  preserving  the  student 
morale.  Two  of  the  Trustees,  Colonel  Henry  L.  Stim- 
son  and  Colonel  Frederick  T.  Murphy,  were  in  service 
at  the  front;  several  instructors,  including  Major 
Claude  M.  Fuess,  Sergeant  Sharon  O.  Brown,  Mr. 

31 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

Samuel  N.  Baker,  Mr.  Frank  L.  Quinby  (who  went 
overseas  as  athletic  director  in  the  French  Army) ,  and 
Mr.  Archibald  Freeman  (who  was  commissioned  as 
Captain  in  the  American  Red  Cross  and  assigned  to 
the  Balkan  service)  were  away  on  leave  of  absence  in 
the  army  or  other  war  activities.  The  Trustees  pur- 
sued a  most  liberal  policy  in  making  it  possible  for 
teachers  to  enter  service  without  financial  loss  and 
with  the  certainty  that  their  positions  would  be  open 
for  them  on  their  return.  The  places  of  these  men  were, 
however,  soon  temporarily  filled,  and  the  school  settled 
down  to  the  familiar  routine,  with  military  training 
as  a  fait  accompli  in  student  life.  Major  Davy  had 
returned  to  the  ^Canadian  service,  and  Lieutenant 
Wyatt  had  taken  his  place  as  Commandant  of  the 
regiment.  The  first  energizing  and  exhilarating  en- 
thusiasm had  lessened  somewhat,  as  it  always  does; 
the  element  of  novelty  was  gone,  and  what  had  been 
at  first  like  diversion  had  become  hard  work;  but 
everybody  set  himself  in  grim  earnestness  to  toil 
patiently  and  uncomplainingly  for  victory.  The 
school,  like  the  nation,  was  preparing,  without  any 
illusions,  for  a  long  and  taxing  struggle.  There  was, 
of  course,  a  feeling  of  unrest  among  the  older  boys, 
who  wanted  to  take  their  places  in  the  battle  line,  and 
not  a  few  left  to  enlist  during  the  autumn.  Three  foot- 
ball captains  withdrew,  one  after  the  other,  to  enter 
service.  But  no  other  attitude  could  possibly  be  ex- 
pected from  young  men  of  nerve  and  sinew. 

And  then,  quite  unexpectedly,  came  the  news  of  the 
armistice.  First  there  was  spread  abroad  the  false 
alarm,  which  the  school  authorities  were  none  too 
ready  to  accept;  and  the  event  justified  their  skepti- 
cism. A  few  days  later,  in  the  early  morning  of  No-

vember  11,  the  bells  rang  out  their  joyful  peal,  till  all 
the  church-towers  were  rocking.  The  boys,  clad  in 
pajamas,  rushed  out  into  the  gray  dawn,  and,  securing 
torches,  formed  in  parade-line,  as  in  the  celebrations 
of  victories  over  rival  schools.  Down  the  Main  Street 
they  marched  to  the  square,  where  all  the  community, 
young  and  old,  had  gathered  to  exult  over  the  good 
tidings ;  and  throughout  that  holiday  the  bells  chimed 
and  people  met  each  other  with  happy  faces.  The 
Great  War  was  over, — over  just  as  America  was 
ready  for  a  supreme  effort,  an  effort  such  as  this  world 
has  never  seen. 

Little  has  been  said  of  some  of  the  less  romantic 
aspects  of  war  work,  all  of  which,  however,  contrib- 
uted materially  to  the  ultimate  victory.  Early  in  the 
spring  of  1915,  in  answer  to  an  appeal  from  Dr. 
Howard  W.  Beal,  '94  (who  later,  as  a  Major  in  the 
Medical  Corps,  died  of  wounds  in  France),  the  stu- 
dents collected  a  large  supply  of  neckties  and  sent 
them  to  disabled  British  soldiers  in  the  American 
Women's  War  Hospital  at  Paignton,  England.  Dr. 
Beal,  who  was  then  Chief  Surgeon  at  that  hospital, 
wrote : — 

"The  seven  hundred  ties  is  by  far  the  best  and  largest  con- 
tribution of  the  sort  we  have  had,  and  it  gave  me  great  pleasure 
to  think  that  the  boys  in  old  Phillips  had  shown  such  willing 
spirit  to  contribute  to  the  pleasure  of  the  British  soldiers  who  go 
through  our  hospital." 

To  the  Second  Liberty  Loan  the  school  subscribed 
over  $79,000.  To  the  Red  Triangle  Drive  in  1918  it 
gave  over  $5000.  In  the  United  War  Work  Drive  of 
1918,  of  which  Dr.  Stearns  was  one  of  the  New  Eng- 
land Directors,  the  boys  pledged  nearly  $13,000. 
Everywhere  on  Andover  Hill  were  war  gardens, 

33 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

started  sometimes  by  men  to  whom  the  hoe  and  the 
spade  had  been  mechanical  mysteries,  but  who,  by 
dint  of  patience  and  research  in  seed  catalogues,  man- 
aged to  produce  creditable  crops  of  vegetables.  When- 
ever there  was  a  call  for  patriotic  civilian  service, 
whether  on  the  Legal  Advisory  Board  or  with  the 
"Four  Minute"  men  or  on  any  of  the  various  commit- 
tees formed  for  collecting  funds  for  war  relief,  mem- 
bers of  the  Trustees  and  the  Faculty  responded. 
There  was  hardly  a  movement  of  this  kind  in  the  town 
with  which  such  men  as  Mr.  Ripley,  Dr.  Stearns,  and 
Professor  Forbes  were  not  associated. 

Some  striking  examples  of  the  fighting  spirit 
among  Andover  men  ought  to  have  special  mention. 
Mr.  Edward  H.  Landon,  '71,  was  living  in  France 
when  his  wife  and  daughters,  worshiping  in  a  Paris 
church,  were  killed  on  Good  Friday,  1918,  by  a  long- 
distance German  gun.  He  at  once  returned  to  Amer- 
ica, and,  although  he  was  considerably  over  sixty  years 
of  age,  made  every  effort  to  secure  from  the  War  De- 
partment some  position  where  he  could  at  least  fire 
one  shot  at  the  brutal  people  who  had  slain  his  loved 
ones.  He  was  disappointed  in  his  hopes,  but  he  lived  to 
see  the  outrage  avenged.  Another  courageous  soul  is 
"Eddie"  Hinkle,  '96,  who,  when  over  forty  years  old, 
enlisted  in  the  French  Foreign  Legion  and  learned 
to  fly  in  a  single-seated  plane,  without  the  assistance 
of  a  controlling  pilot.  He  was  probably  the  oldest 
active  aviator  in  the  American  service.  Still  another 
was  Kenneth  Rand,  '10,  one  of  the  most  promising 
of  our  younger  poets,  who,  after  being  rejected  by 
every  American  and  Canadian  combat  branch,  finally 
entered  the  Quartermaster  Corps^  but  died  of  in- 
fluenza before  he  could  reach  an  Officers'  Training

Camp, — died,  leaving  behind  him  in  his  private's  uni- 
form his  last  poem.  Limited  Service  Only : — 

"  I  am  not  one  of  those  the  gods'  decision 
Has  chosen  for  that  highest  gift  of  all — 
The  sacrifice,  the  splendor,  and  the  vision — 
To  fight  and  nobly  fall : 

"  And  yet  I  know — what  though  it  be  but  dreaming ! 
Should  the  day  hang  on  one  last  desperate  hope, 
I — I — could  lead  one  reckless  column  streaming 
Down  some  shell-tortured  slope. 

**  To  face  the  shadow-hell  of  Death's  own  valley 
With  eyes  unclouded  and  unlowered  head — 
Know,  for  an  instant,  one  ecstatic  rally 
And  then  be  cleanly  dead." 

It  is  men  such  as  these,  from  three  different  genera- 
tions of  Andover  graduates,  who  represent  American 
courage  and  determination  at  its  best. 

Of  the  over  two  thousand  Phillips  alumni  in  the 
army,  navy,  or  marines,  a  large  proportion  were  from 
the  classes  of  recent  years.  So  young  were  many  of 
them  that  they  were  barely  out  of  the  classroom  in 
school  and  college.  One  who  had  seen  many  of  them 
go  from  their  desks  straight  into  the  trenches  thought 
often  of  the  words  of  Joyce  Kilmer : — 

"  They  have  taken  their  youth  and  mirth  away  from  the  study 

and  playing-ground 
To  a  new  school  in  an  alien  land  beneath  an  alien  sky; 
Out  in  the  smoke  and  roar  of  the  fight  their  lessons  and  games 

are  found. 
And  they  who  were  learning  how  to  live  are  learning  how  to 

die." 

It  was  these  boys  who  were  among  the  first  to  go, — 
partly,  of  course,  in  the  quest  of  adventure,  but  largely 

35 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

in  a  desire  to  meet  the  call  of  duty.  No  conscription 
law  was  needed  to  bring  them  into  battle.  They  re- 
sponded eagerly  and  unhesitatingly,  even  enlisting 
as  privates  in  the  ranks  if  only  they  could  get  over- 
seas. A  very  large  percentage  of  them,  however, 
earned  commissions,  and,  as  officers,  showed  qualities 
of  decision  and  leadership  that  made  them  a  credit  to 
the  school  which  they  represented. 

Orators  at  many  alumni  gatherings  have  spoken  of 
the  gallantry  of  Lieutenant  Samuel  Hopkins  Thomp- 
son, the  young  Civil  War  hero,  who  led  his  men  to  the 
charge  at  Antietam  and  died  crying,  "Form  on  me, 
boys,  form  on  me."  This  war  also  has  developed  its 
heroes:  spectacular  knights  of  the  air,  like  "Bill"  Tay- 
lor and  Schuyler  Lee  and  Roswell  Fuller,  stern  lead- 
ers in  the  less  dramatic  work  of  the  Infantry,  like 
Harold  Eadie,  "Bob"  Lovett,  "Herm"  Wilson,  and 
"Charlie"  Gould.  The  deeds  of  these  men,  and  of 
countless  others  of  the  same  audacity  and  courage, 
will,  we  hope,  be  ever  present  memories  to  all  grad- 
uates of  Andover. 

With  these  boys  went,  a  little  more  slowly  perhaps, 
the  men  of  an  older  generation,  men  who  had  acquired 
family  ties  and  business  responsibilities.  It  was  a 
struggle  for  them  to  leave  their  offices  and  homes,  but 
idtimately  a  large  number  made  what  Dante  calls  ''il 
gran  refuso''  and  went  out  to  do  their  part  in  saving 
civilization.  Untaught  in  war,  they  found  themselves 
in  a  changed  environment,  but  they  did  not  fail  to 
quit  themselves  like  men.  Often  their  experience  in 
industry  placed  them  at  "desk  jobs,"  without  much 
romance  or  activity;  but  they  had  their  share, — a 
large  share, — in  the  consummation  of  victory. 

So  many  letters  have  come  from  Andover  men  in

service  that  it  is  not  possible  to  make  any  adequate 
selection  from  them.  They  all  lay  emphasis  on  the 
necessity  of  sacrifice,  the  need  of  patience  and  forti- 
tude, and  the  seriousness  of  the  conflict.  Schuyler  Lee, 
not  nineteen  years  old,  writes  his  father : — 

"Every  man  who  came  over  in  the  Andover  Unit  is  here  to  see 
the  war  through." 

Paul  Doolin,  a  Freshman  at  Harvard,  describes  a 
little  French  church  and  its  congregation : — 

"Here,  in  the  simple  peasant  hearts  of  these  martyrs,  is  the 
real  stronghold  of  Christianity.  They  have  suffered  three  years  of 
horror  such  as  we  shall  never  know ;  their  shoulders  are  bent  with 
heart-breaking  labor,  and  their  hair  is  shot  with  gray,  but  to- 
morrow or  next  week  they  will  go  back  and  face  torture, — all 
because  they  believe." 

Colonel  Frederick  T.  Murphy  says,  after  having  been 
only  a  few  weeks  at  the  front : — 

"The  more  I  see  of  the  game  and  the  more  I  get  into  it,  the 
more  I  am  convinced  that  we  as  a  people  have  taken  the  only 
justifiable  course.  To  have  dodged  our  responsibility  would  have 
resulted  in  losing  our  self-respect;  and  now  that  we  are  in  it  we 
have  got  to  put  in  everything  and  see  that  the  points  of  the  dis- 
pute are  settled,  not  to  Germany's  satisfaction,  but  on  the  basis 
of  insuring  peace  in  the  future  and  preserving  the  rights  of 
civilization." 

Corporal  Edward  E.  Stephenson,  after  learning  how 
to  fly  in  a  training  camp,  wrote  back : — 

"It  is  the  blue  blood  in  the  veins  of  the  true  American  youths 
that  has  made  the  American  Army  what  it  is  to-day,  the  greatest 
and  nerviest  fighting  force  in  the  world;  not  because  they  choose 
this  for  a  profession,  but  because  they  know  their  duty  is  to  fight 
until  there  is  no  fight  left,  for  humanity,  home,  womanhood,  and 
democracy." 

One  officer.  Lieutenant  William  B.  Wheeler,  who 

37 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

was  in  Marseilles  on  November  11,  tells  of  an  expe- 
rience which  reads  like  a  passage  from  a  romance : — 

"It  is  twelve  o'clock,  and  the  armistice  has  been  declared  for 
one  hour.  ...  A  few  moments  ago  I  was  standing  in  the  large 
square  where  our  band  was  playing  the  French  national  hymn. 
Thousands  were  singing,  and  I  was  joining  in  with  the  rest, 
never  realizing  what  I  was  singing,  until  directly  behind  me  I 
heard  another  voice  singing  the  same  words.  I  looked  around  and 
saw  another  officer  standing  there ;  and  we  were  both  singing  with 
all  our  strength,  *01d  Andover  is  champion !'  Strange,  wasn't  it  ? 
We  shook  hands,  and  then  the  crowds  moved  and  parted  us." 

So  the  familiar  Andover  song  joined  men  three  thou- 
sand miles  away  from  their  homes,  men  linked  to- 
gether, not  only  because  they  had  both  once  dwelt  on 
the  Hill,  but  also  because  they  were  united  in  their 
devotion  to  their  country  and  its  ideals. 

Of  those  Andover  men  who  died  in  the  nation's 
service,  nothing  that  we  can  say  can  be  adequate. 
Their  records  on  the  following  pages  speak  with  their 
own  simple  eloquence.  When  Harvard  College,  on 
July  21,  1865,  celebrated  her  memorial  exercises  for 
those  of  her  sons  who  had  perished  in  the  Civil  War, 
her  Roll  of  Honor  numbered  ninety-two  names. 
Phillips  Academy,  after  one  year  and  seven  months 
of  warfare,  mourns  seventy- seven.  It  is  futile  to  hope 
that  we  can  find  another  Lowell  to-day  who  can  com- 
pose a  Commemoration  Ode  worthy  of  these  heroes. 
We  can,  and  do,  pay  them  honor  in  our  hearts.  We 
shall  hold  memorial  exercises  to  show  our  glory  in 
their  achievements  and  our  sorrow  at  their  untimely 
deaths.  We  shall  have,  before  many  years  have  gone 
by,  a  memorial  building  on  Andover  Hill  which  will 
be  in  every  respect  worthy  of  those  to  whom  it  will  be 
dedicated.  But  we  owe  them  the  further  obligation, 

38 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  WARTIME 

not  merely  to  cherish  their  deeds,  but  also  to  per- 
petuate the  lofty  principles  for  which  they  fought  and 
died.  Only  by  so  doing  can  we  remit  our  debt  to  those 
whom  Phillips  Academy  counts 

"  Her  wisest  scholars,  those  who  understood 
The  deeper  teaching  of  her  mystic  tome. 
And  oifered  their  fresh  lives  to  make  it  good."

ANTOINE  HENRI  ENGEL,  '14 

"  Your  sons  are  stars  who  cluster  to  a  dawn 
And  fade  in  light  for  you,  O  glorious  France !" 

Edgar  Lee  Masters. 

Antoine  Henri  Engel  was  the  first  Phillips  boy  to 
give  his  life  on  the  side  of  humanity  in  the  Great  War. 
Born  in  Vanves,  France,  September  4,  1894,  he  was 
by  education  a  cosmopolitan.  When  his  father  died, 
his  cousin  and  guardian,  Mr.  J.  A.  Guillaume  of  New 
York  City,  sent  him  to  a  private  school  in  Hitchin, 
England.  After  the  death  of  the  boy's  mother,  Mr. 
Guillaume  brought  him  to  America  and  entered  him 
at  Andover,  where  he  remained  one  year,  leaving  with 
his  course  incomplete  in  June,  1913.  When  his  native 
land  was  invaded,  Engel,  although  under  military  age, 
presented  himself  to  the  French  authorities  and  was 
sent  overseas  in  October,  1914. 

He  was  placed  at  once  in  a  Corporals'  School  with 
the  167th  Line  Regiment,  and  held  there  for  training. 
Not  until  July  1, 1915,  did  he,  with  his  company,  enter 
the  trenches,  at  Bois  le  Pretre,  near  Toul.  On  the  fol- 
lowing day  the  German  bombardment  was  heavy,  and 
on  Saturday,  the  3d,  in  the  afternoon,  it  became  most 
intense.  As  he  lay  sleeping  on  a  pile  of  sandbags,  a 
shell  burst  over  him,  and  a  flying  fragment,  striking 
him  in  the  neck,  killed  him  instantly.  "He  did  not 
suffer  a  second,"  writes  one  of  his  comrades. 

Engel  was  keenly  interested  in  Andover  and  its 
welfare.  In  his  last  letter,  dated  June  9,  1915,  he 
said: — 

"Je  te  remercie  beaucoup  pour  le  'Phillips  Bulletin'  que  tu

PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

m'as  fait  parvenir.  .  .  .  En  lisant  le  'Bulletin'  je  ne  peux  pas 
m'empecher  de  remarquer  la  difference  entre  les  jeunes  Ameri- 
cains  avec  qui  j'etais  a  Andover  et  ceux  avee  qui  je  suis  ici; 
autant  les  uns  etaient  francs,  large  d'esprit  et  camarades  envers 
tous,  autant  les  autres  sont  le  contraire.  Quant  au  physique  il 
n'y  a  pas  de  comparaison,  les  Fran9ais  ne  sont  pas  du  tout  de- 
veloppes." 

He  himself  was  a  boy  of  powerful  build  and  unusual 
muscular  development.  He  is  remembered  at  Andover 
also  for  his  courtesy,  his  modesty,  and  his  manliness. 
His  dauntless  spirit  is  illustrated  in, another  of  his 
letters : — 

"Je  finis  par  croire  qu'on  ne  veut  pas  de  moi  pour  aller  au 
feu;  j'ai  tellement  demande  a  partir  au  feu  et  on  m'a  tellement 
refuse  pour  diverses  raisons  que  maintenant  je  ne  demanderai 
plus  a  y  aller." 

It  was  his  misfortune  to  perish  without  having  met 
the  enemy  face  to  face ;  but  it  was  his  glory  to  die  for 
France.

CHARLES  BLANCH ARD  BECK,  '15 

"In  small  proportions  we  just  beauties   see; 
And  in  short  measures,  life  may  perfect  be." 

Ben  Jonson. 

Charles  Blanchard  Beck,  born  April  9,  1895,  in 
Chicago,  Illinois,  entered  Phillips  Academy  in  1912 
and  remained  until  his  graduation  three  years  later. 
At  school  he  was  interested  in  track  athletics,  and  ran 
on  his  class  team.  He  continued  his  education  at  Cor- 
nell, but  withdrew  from  that  college  as  soon  as  the 
United  States  declared  war  on  Germany  and  joined 
the  first  training  camp  for  officers  at  Fort  Sheridan. 
He  passed  creditably  the  course  in  artillery,  but,  on 
account  of  his  youth,  was  refused  a  commission.  His 
sudden  death  on  September  17,  1917,  at  his  home, 
can  be  attributed  directly  to  overwork  and  excessive 
strain  while  in  camp. 

Beck  in  Andover  was  a  quiet,  modest  boy  of  very 
attractive  personality.  His  record  in  scholarship,  both 
at  school  and  college,  was  excellent,  and  he  gave 
promise  of  having  a  useful  and  even  a  notable  career.

LEONARD  BACON  PARKS,  05 

"  His  horoscope  had  seemed  so  plainly  drawn — 

School  triumphs,  earned  apace  in  work  and  play; 
Friendships  at  will;  then  love's  delightful  dawn 
And  mellowing  day." 

Lord  Crewe. 

Leonard  Bacon  Parks  was  a  young  man  who  won, 
and  justified,  the  confidence  of  others.  His  progress  in 
life  was  sure  and  steady,  and  he  seemed  destined  for  a 
distinguished  position  in  his  community.  Born  April 
23,  1887,  in  Salem,  Ohio,  he  spent  three  years  at 
Phillips  Academy,  graduating  with  honors.  His  ver- 
satility is  indicated  by  the  fact  that  he  was  a  member 
of  the  Phillipian  Board  and  of  the  Mandolin  Club, 
that  he  played  on  his  class  football  team  and  spoke  for 
the  Means  prize.  He  later  took  the  full  courses  at  Yale 
and  at  Harvard  Law  School,  and,  in  1912,  became 
associated  with  his  father  as  a  lawyer  in  Cleveland, 
Ohio. 

When  trouble  arose  on  the  Mexican  border.  Parks 
enlisted  in  the  National  Guard,  and  was  ultimately 
commissioned  a  First  Lieutenant  in  Company  E, 
112th  Regiment,  United  States  Military  Engineers. 
While  stationed  at  Montgomery,  Alabama,  he  died  of 
pneumonia,  October  29,  1917. 

"  Was  here  the  one  thing  needful  to  distil 

From  life's  alembic,  through  this  holier  fate. 
The  man's  essential  soul,  the  hero  will? 
We  ask ;  and  wait."

IRVING  TYLER  MOORE,  '17 

"  There  is  no  death. — 
They  only  truly  live 
Who  pass  into  the  life  beyond,  and  see 
This   earth  is   but  a   school  preparative 
For  larger  ministry." 

John  Oxenham. 

Irving  Tyler  Moore  was  born  March  31,  1895,  in 
Duluth,  Minnesota.  He  entered  Phillips  Academy 
in  the  autumn  of  1913,  and  spent  there  nearly  two 
years,  leaving  in  1915  with  his  course  incomplete. 
Although  still  a  member  of  the  lower  classes  when  he 
withdrew,  he  had  a  wide  circle  of  friends  by  whom  he 
has  not  been  forgotten.  While  he  was  a  Freshman  at 
Sheffield  Scientific  School,  the  President  issued  our 
Declaration  of  War  upon  Germany;  and  Moore,  like 
many  other  Yale  men,  enlisted  at  once  as  a  First-Class 
Seaman  in  the  United  States  Naval  Reserve  Force. 
For  two  months  he  was  attached  to  the  United  States 
Gunboat  "Kestrel,"  and  there  made  rapid  progress. 
At  a  time  when  his  commission  as  Ensign  was  assured, 
however,  he  contracted  pneumonia  and  died  on  De- 
cember 19,  1917. 

Moore  saw  no  real  action  and  took  part  in  no  en- 
gagement ;  but  his  willingness  to  serve  and  his  spirit  of 
renunciation  place  him  among  the  heroes.  Men  of  his 
type,  even  when  they  died  before  firing  a  gun  at  the 
enemy,  contributed  their  share  towards  victory.

ALDEN  DAVISON,  '15 

"  This  is  the  Happy  Warrior ;  this  is  he 
That  every  Man  in  arms  should  wish  to  be." 

Wordsworth. 

Alden  Davison  was  one  of  those  rare  and  magnetic 
souls  who  secure  without  effort  the  affection  of  all 
who  meet  them.  Few  young  men  of  his  day  were  more 
versatile  or  adaptable.  At  Phillips  Academy,  where 
he  passed  four  years,  he  was  interested  in  football, 
track  athletics,  soccer,  and  hockey;  he  was  a  member 
of  the  Student  Council,  the  Dramatic  Club,  the  De- 
bating Union;  he  was  President  of  Forum  and  of 
Inquiry,  and  President  of  his  class;  and  he  received 
from  his  fellows  the  second  largest  number  of  votes 
for  the  man  "who  has  done  the  most  for  the  school." 
The  ability  which  won  him  these  distinctions  was,  of 
course,  admired;  but  it  was  more  especially  his  fine 
and  upright  character  which  made  him  a  leader.  He 
could  be  trusted  always  to  cast  his  influence  where  it 
would  count  for  good,  and  there  was  no  worthy  cause 
which  did  not  have  his  support. 

Davison  was  born  July  6,  1895,  in  New  York  City. 
After  graduating  from  Andover  in  1915,  he  went  to 
Yale,  but  withdrew  in  April,  1916,  in  order  to  enter 
the  American  Ambulance  Service.  He  was  assigned 
to  duty  with  the  8th  section  near  Verdun,  where  he  had 
one  ambulance  blown  to  pieces  under  him  and  was 
cited  three  times  for  bravery  under  fire.  At  the  expira- 
tion of  his  six  months'  period  of  enlistment  he  planned 
to  join  the  LaFayette  Escadrille;  but  he  was  taken

seriously  ill  with  typhoid  and  obliged  to  return  home. 
In  the  autumn  of  1917  he  had  recovered  sufficiently 
to  be  able  to  enter  the  aviation  service,  and  was  sent 
to  Camp  Hicks,  Texas,  as  a  cadet  in  the  27th  Aero 
Squadron.  There,  on  Wednesday,  December  26,  he 
was  instantly  killed. 

"He  was  flying  in  formation  at  approximately  fifteen  hundred 
feet,  when  he  banked  his  machine  to  the  left  and  fell  into  a  left- 
hand  spin,  making  one  turn,  and  came  out  of  it,  but  he  evidently 
shoved  his  control  stick  too  far  forward,  which  resulted  in  a  steep 
nose  dive.  He  was  then  too  close  to  the  ground  to  right  his  plane 
before  crashing." 

His  instructor  in  the  squadron  wrote : — 

"I  would  cheerfully  give  half  my  life  if  he  were  here  safely 
to-night.  He  is  the  nearest  to  one  of  God's  children  I  ever  knew, 
and  is  mourned  most  deeply  here,  for  everyone  was  so  fond  of 
him.  He  was  a  man's  man,  and  nothing  can  be  said  higher  in 
praise  than  that." 

Brief  though  his  career  was,  Alden  Davison  richly 
fulfilled  the  promise  of  his  schooldays.  He  was  one 

"  who  when  brought 
Among  the  tasks  of  real  life,  hath  wrought 
Upon  the  plan  that  pleased  his  boyish  thought." 

Resolute,  clear-eyed,  high-minded,  he  made  his  ideals 
the  guiding  principles  of  his  life.  For  him  duty  was 
something  more  than  a  word,  and  loyalty  was  naught 
unless  it  was  revealed  in  sacrifice. 

"He  went  through  life  sowing  love  and  kindness,  and  what  he 
sowed  he  has  abundantly  reaped."

DUMARESQ  SPENCER,  '13 

"  The  slain 
Who  died  for  radiant  causes,  endured  pain, 
Turned  upon  beauty  an  averted  face. 
And  perished  in  the  love  of  an  ideal 
That's  not  to  be  bought  in  any  market  place." 

Dudley  Poore,  'IS. 

DuMARESQ  Spencer  was  a  member  of  the  LaFayette 
Escadrille  in  France.  On  Sunday,  January  20,  1918, 
he  had  his  first  fight  with  a  German  plane,  and,  in  a 
dramatic  combat  above  the  Hun  Hnes,  drove  off  an 
enemy  aviator,  returning  only  when  attacked  simul- 
taneously by  four  hostile  machines.  Two  days  later, 
in  the  afternoon,  he  left  the  ground  in  order  to  prac- 
tice acrobatics  and  test  out  his  mitrailleuse;  after 
doing  various  "stunts,"  he  made  a  renversement,  end- 
ing in  a  vrille,  but  did  not  come  out  as  soon  as  he 
had  expected.  His  machine  crashed  to  earth,  the  hood 
striking  him  just  below  the  eyebrows  and  killing  him 
instantly.  On  January  25  he  was  buried  in  a  beautiful 
cemetery  near  Belfort,  at  the  top  of  a  hill,  with  huge 
trees  and  vines  surrounding  the  grave. 

Spencer  was  born  December  4,  1895,  in  Chicago, 
Illinois.  At  Phillips  Academy,  from  which  he  grad- 
uated in  1913,  he  was  a  member  of  the  Phi  Lambda 
Delta  society.  At  Yale  he  became  a  leader.  He  was  on 
the  Dramatic  Club  and  the  Junior  Promenade  Com- 
mittee; he  was  manager  of  the  basketball  team  and 
President  of  the  Minor  Sports;  and  he  belonged  to 
Alpha  Delta  Phi  and  Wolf's  Head.  In  fact  "Stuffy," 
as  he  was  affectionately  called,  w^s  recognized  as  one 
of  the  ablest  men  in  his  class.

HONOR  BIOGRAPHIES 

While  in  college,  Spencer  gained  some  experience 
in  aviation  with  the  1st  Battery  of  the  New  York 
State  Militia.  He  sailed  for  France,  June  20,  1917, 
joined  the  LaFayette  Escadrille,  received  his  pilot's 
brevet  at  Tours,  October  20,  1917,  and  was  later 
commissioned  as  a  Second  Lieutenant. 

Among  the  many  fitting  tributes  paid  to  Lieutenant 
Spencer,  none  is  more  appropriate  than  that  of  his 
comrade  in  the  flying  corps : — 

"Would  that  I  could  tell  you  what  'Stuff'  has  meant  to  me. 
For  ten  months  we  have  lived  together,  closer  than  brothers.  We 
have  done  the  same  things,  thought  the  same  thoughts — two,  yet 
one — and  now,  although  there  is  a  cross  which  bears  his  name  and 
'mort  pour  la  France/  still  I  know  he  is  with  me — I  know  he 
lives,  his  spirit  and  determination  could  never  be  downed  and 
never  will  be — he  is  with  us  all  the  time — he  lives."

JACK  MORRIS  WRIGHT,  '17 

"  I  cannot  say  your  brave  eyes  do  not  see 
The  beauty  that  you  loved.  How  can  I  say, 
As  spring  comes,  and  from  every  full-veined  tree 
Peep   gold-eyed  buds   along  the  spring-drenched  way 
That  I  go  to  the  woods  alone?  For  you, 
I  cannot  help  but  think,  walk  with  me  here. 
Your  free  hand  brushes  mine,  your  gay  lips,  too 
Sing  for  the  glory  of  the  mad  young  year. 
^  They  say  that  you  are  dead.  Oh,  but  I  know 

That  only  your  body  from  this  world  is  drawn. 
You  are  as  real  to  me  as  winds  that  blow 
Across  my  face.  You  are  as  clear  as  dawn ! 
How  can  I,  then,  force  my  slow  lips  to  say 
That  your  eyes  cannot  see  the  spring  to-day." 

Harrison  Dowd,  *17, 

Jack  Morris  Wright  has  been  happily  called  "A 
Poet  of  the  Air,"  and  the  volume  of  his  letters  pub- 
lished under  that  title  reveals  his  character  perfectly. 
We  find  there  the  full  expression  of  his  exuberant, 
impetuous,  and  truly  noble  soul.  He  was  only  eighteen 
when  he  was  killed.  In  the  spring  of  his  Senior  year  at 
Phillips  Academy,  he  joined  the  Andover  Ambulance 
Unit  and  went  to  France.  There,  as  soon  as  he  could 
secure  a  release,  he  enrolled  in  aviation,  and  shortly 
won  his  commission  as  First  Lieutenant.  On  January 
24,  1918,  he  met  with  an  accident  which  has  been  de- 
scribed briefly  but  vividly  by  "Alec"  Bruce,  his  com- 
panion at  the  training  camp : — 

"Coming  down  from  a  spiral,  he  took  a  very  flat  glide  and  then 
backed  to  turn.  Because  of  his  lack  of  speed,  the  machine  side- 
slipped and  then  went  into  a  'vrille.'  Instantly  he  acted  correctly, 
and  according  to  the  monitor  who  saw  it,  would  have  come  out  all 
right  in  another  ten  yards.  Instead  he  struck  the  ground  while

still  in  a  nose  dive  and  was  terribly  crushed.  He  was  taken  to  the 
hospital  unconscious  and  died  within  an  hour." 

The  officers  and  cadets  of  the  corps  attended  the 
funeral  service.  As  the  procession  marched  to  the 
burial  ground,  airplanes  flew  over  the  cortege,  and  at 
the  grave  one  of  them  dropped  flowers  upon  the  tomb. 

"Jack"  Wright  loved  France.  As  a  boy,  he  had 
spent  several  years  in  Paris,  and  he  still  retained  in 
later  life  some  touches  of  the  foreigner.  He  was  origi- 
nal, picturesque,  unique;  yet  he  had  a  charm  which 
was  irresistible.  He  had  a  graceful  way  of  saying  the 
unexpected,  the  unconventional  thing,  which  distin- 
guished him  as  a  student  with  the  gift  of  self-expres- 
sion. His  tastes,  which  were  instinctively  clean  and 
discriminating,  led  him  to  a  ready  appreciation  of 
what  is  good  in  art  and  literature;  and,  although  he 
had  not  written  much,  he  had  the  impulse  to  try  his 
'prentice  hand  at  rhymes  and  short  stories.  There  was, 
for  the  teacher,  no  need  of  stimulating  his  imagina- 
tion; the  difficulty  was,  without  discouraging  him,  to 
repress  and  control  his  fondness  for  decorative  words. 

He  said  his  farewell  to  Andover  Hill  on  one  of  the 
sunniest  of  spring  mornings,  when  the  world  seemed 
a  dwelling-place  of  light  and  life;  and  it  is  hard  to 
realize  that  he  will  never  see  another  May.  But, 
though  his  body  be  gone,  his  ardent  unselfish  spirit 
cannot  perish,  and  he  has  left  an  impression  which  we 
shall  long  remember.

GUS  EVANS  WARDEN,  '07 

"  They  who  had  all,  gave  all.  Their  half -writ  story 

Lies  in  the  empty  halls  they  knew  so  well. 

But  they,  the  knights  of  God,  shall  see  His  glory, 

And  find  the  Grail  ev'n  in  the  fire  of  hell." 

Gus  Evans  Warden  was  born  July  22,  1886,  in  En- 
deavor, Pennsylvania.  He  spent  two  years  at  Phillips 
Academy,  from  1904  to  1906,  and  then  entered  La- 
Fayette  College,  where  he  graduated  with  the  class 
of  1910.  At  LaFayette  he  was  a  member  of  the  Chi 
Phi  fraternity.  In  business  he  was  connected  with  the 
Erie  Railroad.  On  December  13,  1917,  he  enlisted  in 
the  Aviation  Section  of  the  Signal  Corps,  and  was 
stationed  first  at  Columbus  Barracks  and  later  at 
Kelly  Field,  San  Antonio,  Texas.  There  he  was 
stricken  with  pneumonia  and  died  at  Fort  Sam  Hous- 
ton Hospital,  January  27,  1918.  His  commission  as 
Second  Lieutenant  in  the  20th  Regiment  of  Engineers 
reached  him  while  he  was  lying  ill.  He  was  buried  at 
Portville,  Pennsylvania,  on  February  4. 

Warden's  commanding  officer  wrote  of  him,  "He 
was  every  inch  a  man,  a  brave  and  courageous  soldier." 
His  life  was  given  to  his  country  no  less  than  if  he  had 
died,  as  he  would  have  desired,  face  to  face  with  the 
enemy.

ALBERT  DILLON  STURTEVANT,  '12 

"  Oh,  do  not  mourn  for  him,  he  heard  his  country's  call, 
And  answering,  gave  all  he  had  to  give; 
Yet  though  they  die,  they  live; 
Not  dead  at  all 
They  who  obeyed  that  call." 

N.  M.  H. 

Albert  Dillon  Sturtevant  was  the  first  aviator  in 
either  the  army  or  the  navy  to  be  brought  down  in 
action  in  the  service  of  the  United  States.  On  the 
morning  of  February  15,  1918,  the  large  British  sea- 
plane of  which  he  was  one  of  the  pilots  was  ordered, 
together  with  another  seaplane,  to  convoy  a  fleet  of 
merchant  vessels  and  destroyers  from  England  to 
Holland.  While  waiting  for  their  convoys,  they  were 
attacked  by  ten  German  machines.  The  other  British 
plane  escaped,  but  Sturtevant,  as  pilot,  was  obliged 
to  carry  on  a  running  fight,  in  the  course  of  which  he 
brought  down  at  least  two  of  his  opponents.  Even- 
tually, however,  he  was  forced  over  towards  the  Bel- 
gian shore,  from  which  German  land  planes  came  out 
to  join  in  the  battle.  With  sixteen  Hun  machines 
attacking  him,  Sturtevant  had  no  hope;  he,  with  his 
crew  of  another  pilot  and  three  men,  was  brought 
down,  and  no  trace  of  either  plane  or  bodies  has  ever 
been  found.  Ralph  D.  Paine,  who  describes  the  con- 
test in  his  book,  The  Fighting  Fleets^  says : — 

"This  was  the  finish  of  a  whole  year's  training  and  prepara- 
tion, at  home^  in  France,  in  England, — to  be  shot  down  with 
never  a  chance  in  his  first  contact  with  the  enemy.  So  blind  and 
illogical  and  pitiless  is  war,  and  yet  the  life  of  this  Yale  athlete 
and  gallant  gentleman  was  not  thrown  away.  He  dared  and  paid 

55 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

the  price,  flashing  out  of  life  like  a  meteor,  in  all  the  glory  of 
audacious  youth." 

Born  May  2,  1894,  Sturtevant  came  to  Phillips 
Academy  from  Washington,  D.  C,  in  1910,  grad- 
uating two  years  later.  His  record  in  scholarship  was 
excellent,  and  he  had  a  quick  and  tenacious  mind.  No 
one  who  knew  him  will  soon  forget  his  genial  smile  and 
his  attractive  personality.  Later  at  Yale  he  was  cap- 
tain of  the  crew  and  one  of  the  ablest  men  in  his  class. 

When  America  entered  the  war,  Sturtevant  was  at 
Harvard  Law  School;  but  he  at  once  volunteered, 
and,  after  being  trained  in  the  School  of  Aviation 
at  Huntington,  Long  Island,  received  his  Ensign's 
commission  and  was  ordered  overseas,  sailing  in  Sep- 
tember, 1917.  After  about  two  months  in  France  in 
intensive  training  on  seaplanes,  he  was  detailed  by 
Admiral  Sims  to  the  British  Naval  Flying  Station  at 
Felixstowe,  England. 

"Al"  Sturtevant  was  a  young  man  who  had  grown 
steadily  in  strength  and  influence  over  others.  He  had 
most  of  the  qualities  which  belong  to  the  wise  leader, 
and  he  had  a  reserve  force  which  would  have  made  him 
a  forceful  personality.  Our  sense  of  his  loss  belongs  to 
those  "thoughts  that  do  often  lie  too  deep  for  tears." 

President  Wilson  wrote  personally  to  Ensign 
Sturtevant 's  father,  saying:  "It  was  a  death  in  the 
field  of  honor  assuredly,  and  there  must  be  great  pride 
in  your  heart  that  such  was  the  case,  but  that  does  not 
alter  the  fact  that  you  have  lost  a  beloved  son  and  my 
heart  goes  out  to  you  in  genuine  sympathy."

PERRY  DEAN  GRIBBEN,   00 

"But  trust  that  those  we  call  the  dead 
Are  breathers  of  an  ampler  day 
For  ever  nobler  ends." 

Perry  Dean  Gribben  was  born  October  31,  1881,  in 
St.  Paul,  Minnesota.  After  a  year  at  Hill  School,  he 
came  to  Phillips  Academy,  and  later  graduated  in 
1903  from  Sheffield  Scientific  School.  While  at  Yale, 
he  was  chairman  of  the  Class  Picture  Committee. 
After  leaving  college,  he  became  Secretary  and  Treas- 
urer of  the  Gribben  Lumber  Company  in  his  native 
city.  At  the  outbreak  of  the  war  he  enlisted  in  the 
Signal  Corps  and  was  sent  to  Fort  Omaha,  Nebraska, 
where  he  was  commissioned  as  First  Lieutenant.  On 
February  13,  1918,  while  on  leave,  he  was  badly  in- 
jured in  an  automobile  accident,  and  died  a  few  hours 
later  at  his  home  in  St.  Paul.

LELAND  JAMES  HAGADORN,  '13 

"  It  was  always  make  or  break  with  you. 
No  half-way  dawdling  game. 
It  was  win  or  lose  when  we  played,  old  man. 
And  you  played  with  death  the  same." 

V.  L.  K.  {one  of  his  comrades). 

Leland  James  Hagadorn  was  born  April  3, 1894,  in 
Buffalo,  New  York.  After  attending  schools  in  Olean, 
New  York,  he  spent  one  year  at  Phillips  Academy, 
and  later  graduated  from  Sheffield  Scientific  School 
in  the  class  of  1916.  In  business  he  was  connected  with 
the  Baldwin  Locomotive  Works  and  with  the  Union 
Petroleum  Company;  but  upon  our  entrance  into  the 
war  he  enlisted  and  was  sent  to  the  Ithaca  Ground 
School  for  Aviation.  There  he  was  selected  as  one  of 
the  first  ten  honor  pupils  to  be  sent  to  France  for  fur- 
ther training.  He  passed  through  several  flying  schools 
in  that  country,  was  commissioned  as  First  Lieuten- 
ant in  the  Signal  Corps,  Aviation  Section,  and  was 
finally  assigned  to  Cazaux,  France,  for  practice  with 
the  combat  plane. 

On  February  23,  1918,  some  officers  watching  trial 
flights  saw  the  main  body  of  an  aeroplane  coming 
down  with  one  wing  only,  the  other  wing  and  several 
loose  pieces  of  canvas  falling  more  slowly  behind  the 
engine.  They  reached  the  debris  within  a  minute  after 
the  crash,  only  to  find  that  Lieutenant  Hagadorn  had 
been  killed  instantly.  He  had  taken  a  nose  dive  with 
the  motor  full  on,  and  the  strain  had  proved  too  great 
for  the  machine.

HONOR  BIOGRAPHIES 

Lieutenant  Hagadorn  was  buried  with  military 
honors,  in  a  casket  covered  with  mimosa  flowers.  A 
delegation  of  French  aviators  were  present  to  do 
honor  to  one  whom  they  had  learned  to  respect  and 
love.

HAROLD  FIELD  EADIE,  '15 

"  Blow  out,  you  bugles,  over  the  rich  Dead ! 
These  laid  the  world  away ;  poured  out  the  red 
Sweet  wine  of  youth;  gave  up  the  years  to  be 
Of  work  and  joy,  and  that  unhoped  serene, 
That  men  call  age;  and  those  who  would  have  been. 
Their  sons,  they  gave,  their  immortality." 

Rupert  Brooke. 

Harold  Field  Eadie  was  fatally  wounded  while 
leading  his  men  in  action.  The  story  is  one  of  those 
dramatic  incidents  which  seize  the  imagination.  On 
the  evening  of  Friday,  March  1,  1918,  the  Germans 
made  a  raid  on  his  sector  in  the  trenches  northwest  of 
Toul.  Lieutenant  Eadie,  who  was  then  Acting  Captain 
of  Company  C  of  the  103d  Infantry,  rallied  a  group 
of  men  with  rifles  and  machine  guns,  went  through 
the  wire  entanglements  into  No  Man's  Land,  and 
there  awaited  the  Hun  retreat.  As  the  enemy  were 
repelled,  Eadie  and  his  detachment  poured  in  a  deadly 
fire,  killing  and  wounding  scores ;  but  he  himself  was 
struck  by  a  piece  of  shrapnel,  which  pierced  his  lung. 
One  of  his  soldiers  saw  him  "alongside  a  spitting 
machine  gun,  blazing  away  with  his  automatic  pistol." 
He  was  carried  to  the  hospital  and  an  operation  was 
performed  immediately,  but  to  no  avail.  He  died  early 
in  the  morning  on  March  2.  Upon  his  casket  was 
placed  the  French  war  cross,  awarded  to  him  for 
bravery. 

Born  August  22,  1892,  in  Fall  River,  Massachu- 
setts, he  received  his  early  education  in  Utica,  New 
York,  and  Pittsfield,  Massachusetts.  He  entered  Phil- 
lips Academy  in  1911  and  remained  three  years.  He

played  regularly  on  the  Academy  baseball  nine  in 
fielding  positions ;  he  was  captain  of  his  class  football 
team  and  won  his  letter  on  the  school  eleven;  and  he 
played  on  both  class  and  school  basketball  teams.  He 
was  a  member  of  the  Phi  Lambda  Sigma  society.  In 
scholarship  he  was  a  faithful  and  earnest  student,  who 
made  a  most  creditable  record. 

Later  Eadie  went  to  Dartmouth  College,  where,  as 
a  Junior,  he  was  one  of  the  first  to  enlist.  After  win- 
ning at  Plattsburg  his  commission  as  First  Lieuten- 
ant, he  was  assigned  to  Camp  Devens  and  then  to 
Camp  Bartlett.  In  September,  1917,  he  went  over- 
seas with  his  regiment,  which  was  a  part  of  the  famous 
26th,  or  Yankee,  Division. 

It  was  natural  that  Eadie  should  be  popular  in 
school,  for  he  was  unusually  vivacious,  cheerful,  and 
even-tempered.  Every  one  liked  him  and  respected 
him.  As  a  soldier  he  had  the  same  willing  spirit  which 
he  had  shown  in  a  smaller  way  in  contests  on  the  ball 
field.  His  chaplain  writes: — 

"He  was  a  man  who  could  be  counted  on  always  to  throw  him- 
self into  anything  which  was  for  the  good  of  the  regiment." 

His  Colonel  said: — 

"The  gallantry  with  which  he  did  his  duty,  his  constant  alert- 
ness, his  energy,  were  all  an  inspiration  to  the  officers  and  an 
example  to  the  men." 

But  the  finest  tribute  came  from  one  of  his  own 
wounded  soldiers : — 

"He  was  a  fine  officer,  and,  believe  me,  he  took  care  of  his 
men.  Any  one  of  his  company  would  have  gone  through  Hell  at 
his  order." 

Harold  Eadie's  noble  death  has  already  become  part 
of  school  tradition,  and  forms  one  of  the  most  glorious 
pages  of  Andover's  history.

HAROLD  PHILLIPS  WILSON,  '11 

"  Not  his,  at  peril's  frown, 
A  pulse  of  quicker  beat; 
Not  his  to  hesitate 
And  parley  hold  with  Fate, 
But  proudly  to  fling  down 
His  gauntlet  at  her  feet." 

Harold  Phillips  Wilson,  born  March  22,  1893,  in 
Clearfield,  Pennsylvania,  came  to  Phillips  Academy 
in  1909  and  graduated  two  years  later  with  a  brilliant 
scholastic  record.  Among  his  various  interests  in 
school  life  were  class  baseball,  the  Mandolin  Club,  and 
the  debating  team.  At  his  Commencement  exercises  in 
June,  1911,  he  read  the  Class  Poem.  He  was,  indeed, 
one  of  the  most  promising  members  of  his  class.  After 
leaving  Andover  he  entered  Cornell,  graduating  in 
1915,  with  special  honors  in  chemistry.  He  then  en- 
gaged in  business  with  the  New  Jersey  Products  Com- 
pany of  New  York  City. 

Wilson  enlisted  in  June,  1917,  as  a  private  in  the 
United  States  Ambulance  Service,  Section  599,  and 
was  sent  to  Allentown,  Pennsylvania,  for  training. 
He  was  promoted  to  be  a  Sergeant,  first  class,  in  his 
unit,  which  was  preparing  for  overseas  service.  Un- 
fortunately he  contracted  pneumonia  and,  on  March 
19,  1918,  died  in  the  hospital  at  Camp  Crane.

CHARLES  AMOS  MARTIN,  '15 

"  Let  not  our  sighing  or  our  tears 
Fall  on  them  through  the  coming  years,  • 

Who  on  the  land,  in  sea,  in  air. 
With  dauntless  courage  everywhere. 
Their  homes  and  country  glorified — 
Stood  to  their  arms,  and  smiling  died." 

Charles  Amos  Martin  was  born  in  Lawrence,  Mas- 
sachusetts, December  13,  1893.  After  attending  the 
Lawrence  pubHc  schools,  he  came  to  Phillips  Acad- 
emy in  the  autumn  of  1911,  but  remained  for  only  a 
short  time.  He  then  entered  the  employment  of  the 
American  Woolen  Company,  and  became  the  chief 
engineer  of  the  factory  at  Utica,  New  York.  On  De- 
cember 13,  1917,  he  enlisted  in  the  United  States 
Naval  Reserve  Forces  as  Machinist's  Mate,  First 
Class.  On  March  23,  1918,  he  died,  of  pneumonia 
following  influenza.

SCHUYLER  LEE,  '18 

"  They  went  with  songs  to  battle,  they  were  young, 
Straight  of  limb,  true  of  eye,  steady  and  aglow. 
They  were  stanch  to  the  end  against  odds  uncounted, 
They  fell  with  their  faces  to  the  foe." 

Schuyler  Lee,  like  "Alec"  Bruce,  "Jack"  Wright, 
and  "Bill"  Taylor,  his  fellow  members  in  the  Andover 
Ambulance  Unit,  gave  his  life  for  the  cause  he  loved. 
On  their  voyage  over,  the  Andover  youngsters  were 
ridiculed  by  some  supercilious  collegians,  and  we  are 
told  that  Schuyler  "floored  a  college  fellow  double  his 
size."  Like  many  of  the  unit,  he  first  selected  camion 
work  with  the  French  Army ;  but  later,  when  another 
opening  came,  he  volunteered  for  aviation  and  was 
accepted  on  August  1,  1917,  for  the  LaFayette  Fly- 
ing Corps.  He  followed  with  success  the  regular  steps 
in  training  at  various  schools.  On  October  22  he  wrote 
that  he  was  "a  breveted  pilot,  with  wings  on  my  col- 
lar— and  everything."  By  November  he  had  qualified 
as  an  avion  de  chasse^  with  the  rank  of  Corporal.  On 
January  10  he  wrote  that  he  was  flying  every  day  over 
Rheims  Cathedral.  A  few  weeks  later  General  Petain 
reviewed  the  Escadrille,  and  gave  Lee  a  notebook  for 
a  souvenir. 

His  most  spectacular  combat  occurred  on  February 
3,  when,  with  four  other  members  of  his  unit,  he  en- 
countered eight  German  planes.  In  the  course  of  the 
fight,  three  Hun  machines  and  one  Frenchman  were 
shot  down;  whereupon  the  Germans,  although  they 
still  outnumbered  their  adversaries  five  to  four,  turned 
tail  and  fled  to  a  position  well  within  the  range  of  their

own  anti-aircraft  batteries.  When  he  returned  to  his 
base,  Corporal  Lee  found  that  his  machine  was  per- 
forated in  twenty  places  by  bullets  from  German 
rapid-fire  guns.  On  April  12  he  flew  out  over  the  hos- 
tile lines,  and  was  last  seen  slowly  descending,  evi- 
dently with  motor  trouble.  He  was  later  reported  on 
the  German  casualty  lists  as  having  been  shot  down 
near  Montdidier,  and  there  can  be  no  reasonable 
doubt  of  his  death. 

Schuyler  Lee  was  born  July  29,  1898,  in  Bloom- 
field,  New  Jersey.  Entering  Phillips  Academy  in 
1915  from  the  Haverford  School,  he  remained  until 
April,  1917.  He  was  a  member  of  the  K.  O.  A.  society, 
and  a  deacon  in  the  Academy  Church.  At  Andover 
he  was  exceedingly  beloved,  and,  although  but  an 
Upper  Middler  when  he  withdrew,  was  recognized  by 
teachers  and  schoolmates  as  one  of  the  most  promising 
boys  in  the  Academy.  As  Principal  Stearns  wrote  to 
his  father,  "Schuyler  went  to  his  death  and  his  God, 
clean,  strong,  and  unsullied."  He  lived  true  to  his 
favorite  passage  in  poetry : — 

"  Live  pure,  speak  true,  right  wrong,  follow  the  King — 
Else,  wherefore  born?"

LLOYD  SEWARD  ALLEN,    08 

"  You  burned  clear  flame,  while  he 
Who  treads  the  endless  march  of  dusty  years 
Grows  blind  and  choked  with  dust  before  he  dies." 

Anonymous. 

Lloyd  Seward  Allen  came  from  a  distinguished 
family,  being  the  great-grandson  of  William  H.  Sew- 
ard. Born  February  15,  1889,  in  Auburn,  New  York, 
he  attended  schools  in  that  city  and  later  in  Washing- 
ton, where  his  father,  the  Honorable  Frederick  I. 
Allen,  was  Commissioner  of  Patents.  In  1906  Allen 
entered  Phillips  Academy,  but  left  before  graduation 
in  order  to  take  up  his  course  at  Sheffield  Scientific 
School.  After  receiving  a  diploma  there  in  1910,  he 
spent  two  years  as  an  instructor  in  the  Evans  School, 
Mesa,  Arizona.  He  then  engaged  in  contracting  and 
construction  work  in  Auburn  and  New  York  City. 
As  a  member  of  the  famous  Squadron  A,  he  went  for 
duty  to  the  Mexican  border,  but  was  invalided  home 
with  a  broken  ankle.  He  took  up  the  study  of  aviation 
and  accepted  a  position  in  an  airplane  factory,  where 
he  made  some  important  inventions.  In  the  autumn  of 
1917  he  enlisted  in  the  Aviation  Section  of  the  Signal 
Corps,  and  was  sent  first  to  the  Ground  School  at 
Princeton  and  later  to  Dick  Field  in  Texas.  In  April, 
1918,  he  was  assigned  to  the  Wilbur  Wright  Aviation 
Field  at  Dayton,  Ohio.  There,  on  May  1,  while  he  was 
making  a  "solo"  flight,  his  machine  crashed  into  a 
school  building  and  he  was  instantly  killed.

Stuart  Freeman,  although  a  young  man,  had  al- 
ready made  a  name  for  himself  as  a  lawer  in  his  native 
city  of  Portland,  Oregon.  Born  on  May  5,  1894,  he 
came  to  Phillips  Academy  in  1910,  but  left  before  his 
year  was  completed.  At  Leland  Stanford  University, 
where  he  studied  for  two  years,  he  was  a  member  of 
Zeta  Psi.  He  then  took  the  law  course  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Oregon,  and  settled  down  with  the  firm  of  Wil- 
bur, Spencer,  and  Beckett  in  Portland.  In  May,  1917, 
he  enlisted,  and  graduated  in  October  from  the  Berke- 
ley Ground  School  of  Aviation.  On  November  18  he 
arrived  in  France,  and,  after  several  months  of  train- 
ing, had,  by  March,  1918,  earned  the  double  wings  of 
a  Reserve  Military  Aviator.  He  was  killed  in  a  rail- 
road accident  on  May  10,  1918.  His  commission  as 
Second  Lieutenant  reached  his  family  on  May  12,  the 
day  he  was  buried.

WILLIAM  BECKER  HAGAN,  '17 

"  Courage  came  to  you  with  your  boyhood's  grace 
Of  ardent  life  and  limb. 
Each  day  new  dangers  steeled  you  to  the  test. 
To  ride,  to  climb,  to  swim. 

"  So  when  you  went  to  play  another  game 
You  could  not  but  be  brave." 

Winifred  M.  Letts. 

William  Becker  Hagan  was  one  of  the  first  Ameri- 
can boys  to  join  the  Ambulance  Field  Service  in 
France.  Born  in  Dorchester,  Massachusetts,  on  Feb- 
ruary 12, 1898,  he  received  his  early  education  in  Bos- 
ton, especially  at  Stone  School,  where  he  was  captain 
of  the  nine.  At  Phillips  Academy,  Hagan  played 
hockey  and  was  a  member  of  Phi  Lambda  Sigma. 
Shortly  after  leaving  Andover  in  1916  he  went  abroad 
and  drove  an  ambulance  for  six  months,  being  sta- 
tioned near  Rheims  and  Verdun.  He  then  returned  to 
this  country,  expecting  to  enlist  in  aviation,  but  his 
application  was  refused.  Undaunted,  he  went  to  Can- 
ada and  entered  the  Royal  Air  Force.  As  he  wrote,  "I 
had  to  put  my  hand  on  the  Bible  and  swear  in  the 
king's  name,  but  this  did  not  bother  me  when  I  thought 
that  after  all  it  was  for  the  one  big  cause."  As  a  cadet 
he  was  making  rapid  progress  towards  a  commission ; 
but  unfortunately  he  was  attacked  by  influenza,  which 
developed  into  pneumonia,  and  he  died  May  11,  1918. 
His  character  is  shown  at  its  best  in  his  letters  to  his 
family,  in  which  he  displays  the  loftiest  kind  of 
patriotism.

RAYMOND  TENNEY  BALCH,    14 

"  So  goes  the  soldier,  fallen  but  victorious, 
And  leaves  behind  a  twilight  in  the  world." 

Asquith. 

Raymond  Tenney  Balch  was  born  December  8, 
1894,  in  Newburyport,  Massachusetts.  He  entered 
Phillips  Academy  in  1912,  but  left  before  completing 
his  course.  After  some  business  training  with  the 
American  Trust  Company  of  Boston  and  with  Blake 
Brothers  of  Boston  and  New  York,  he  enlisted  in  the 
Massachusetts  Naval  Cadet  School,  from  which  he 
graduated,  March  24,  1917,  with  the  rank  of  Ensign. 
He  was  ordered  to  duty  with  the  9th  Deck  Division, 
but  was  prevented  by  a  physical  defect  from  going 
into  active  service.  Disappointed  in  his  hopes,  he 
joined  the  Royal  Flying  Corps  at  Toronto,  and 
trained  at  Bayside  and  at  Fort  Worth,  Texas,  where 
he  was  commissioned  Second  Lieutenant,  November 
26, 1917.  Going  overseas  in  December,  he  was  licensed 
a  First-Class  Pilot  in  February  and  promoted  to  be 
First  Lieutenant  on  April  1.  On  May  25,  1918,  two 
days  before  he  expected  to  go  across  the  Channel  for 
combat  duty,  his  airplane  collapsed  while  he  was  at 
aerial  target  practice,  and  he  fell  to  death,  at  Castle 
Bromwick,  near  Birmingham,  England.

Sir  Henry  Newbolt. 

Julius  Franklin  Seelye  was  born  June  8,  1899,  in 
Wooster,  Ohio.  After  a  year  at  Phillips  Academy  in 
the  class  of  1918,  he  transferred  to  Monson  Academy, 
where  he  graduated  in  1917.  On  June  18  of  the  same 
year  he  enlisted  and  was  sent  to  Camp  Syracuse  with 
Company  C  of  the  48th  Infantry.  On  August  26  he 
was  promoted  to  the  grade  of  private,  first  class.  In 
September  he  was  ordered  to  Camp  Hill,  Newport 
News,  Virginia,  where  he  was  made  a  Corporal.  In 
January  he  was  sent  to  Pig  Point  to  guard  ordnance, 
and  the  unusually  strenuous  work  gradually  brought 
him  to  the  stage  of  exhaustion.  After  an  illness  of  ten 
weeks,  he  was  brought  to  the  hospital  at  Camp  Stuart, 
where,  on  May  26,  1918,  he  died  of  pneumonia.  The 
funeral  services  were  held  on  the  afternoon  of  Memo- 
rial Day  in  the  Amherst  College  Chapel,  and  were 
conducted  entirely  by  members  of  his  family. 

His  letters,  as  well  as  the  words  of  the  surgeon  and 
nurses,  testify  to  Seelye's  patience  in  combating  ill- 
ness. His  superior  officers  also  have  written  to  praise 
his  strength  of  character  and  fortitude  under  suffering.

JOHN  LENDRUM  MITCHELL,  JR.,  '13 

"  We  see  but  this,  that  when  the  moment  came 

You  raised  on  high,  then  drained,  the  solemn  cup — 
The  grail  of  death;  that,  touched  by  valor's  flame. 
The  kindled  spirit  burned  the  body  up." 

Oscar  C.  A.  Child. 

John  Lendrum  Mitchell,  Jr.,  was  born  April  20, 
1893,  in  Washington,  D.  C,  during  his  father's  term 
as  United  States  Senator  from  Wisconsin.  He  spent 
one  year  at  Phillips  Academy,  but  finished  his  pre- 
paratory work  at  Cascadilla  School.  From  there  he 
went  to  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  where  he  played 
on  the  football  eleven  and  was  captain  of  the  crew. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  Chi  Psi  fraternity.  Imme- 
diately after  graduation  in  1917,  he  enlisted  in  the 
Signal  Corps,  Aviation  Section,  and  was  sent  for 
training  to  the  Aviation  Ground  School  at  the  Massa- 
chusetts Institute  of  Technology.  His  course  com- 
pleted, he  was  ordered  overseas,  and,  on  September 
29,  1917,  received  his  commission  as  First  Lieutenant. 
He  was  later  assigned  to  duty  at  Toul,  France,  where, 
on  May  27,  1918,  he  was  killed  by  the  accidental  fall 
of  his  machine.  He  lies  buried  in  Cemetery  108,  the 
Sebastopol  Hospital  Cemetery,  four  kilometers  north 
of  Toul. 

Lieutenant  Mitchell  was  powerful  physically  and 
had  something  of  the  Berserker's  spirit.  Colonel 
Watrous,  his  commanding  officer,  wrote,  "He  was  a 
perfect  specimen  of  manhood  and  was  loved  by  every- 
one with  whom  he  came  in  contact."  In  him  his  country 
lost  a  gallant  soldier.

EDWARD  HINES,  JR.,    17 

"With  generous  hands v; they  paid  the  price 
Unconscious  of  the  cost. 
But  we  must  judge  the  sacrifice 
By  all  that  they  have  lost. 

"  No  lavish  love  of  future  years, 
No  passionate  regret, 
No  gift  of  sacrifice  or  tears 
#  Can  ever  pay  the  debt." 

Edward  Hines,  Jr.,  was  commissioned  on  his  twenty- 
first  birthday,  July  24,  1917,  as  a  Second  Lieutenant, 
at  the  Officers'  Training  School,  Fort  Sheridan,  Illi- 
nois. After  a  few  weeks  with  the  61st  Infantry  at 
Gettysburg,  Pennsylvania,  he  went  overseas  on  De- 
cember 23  with  the  4th  Machine  Gun  Battalion,  acting 
as  Aide  to  Captain  William  R.  White,  the  officer  in 
command.  During  the  voyage  he  was  taken  so  se- 
riously ill  that  he  had  to  be  removed  at  the  port  of 
debarkation  on  stretchers;  but  he  protested  against 
being  placed  in  an  English  hospital  and  begged  to  be 
allowed  to  accompany  his  battalion  to  France.  With 
the  full  knowledge  that  he  had  a  severe  heart  lesion,  he 
insisted  on  going  to  the  front,  and  for  a  time  served  as 
Town  Mayor  and  Battalion  Adjutant;  but,  although 
he  had  partly  recovered,  the  hardships  which  he  was 
obliged  to  undergo  were  a  continuous  strain  on  his  al- 
ready overtaxed  and  weakened  body.  In  March,  1918, 
the  need  for  machine  gun  officers  was  very  great,  and 
Lieutenant  Hines,  in  spite  of  his  illness,  entered  the 
trenches  and  remained  for  three  weeks.  While  work- 
ing in  a  gun  entrenchment,  however,  he  fell  uncon-

scious  and  was  carried  to  a  first-aid  hospital.  There  he 
contracted  rheumatism,  followed  by  pneumonia.  He 
died  on  June  4,  1918,  at  Base  Hospital  No.  18,  near 
Chaumont.  His  fortitude  in  remaining  with  his  com- 
rades until  he  was  too  exhausted  to  stand  is  one  of 
those  acts  of  quiet  heroism  which  are  sometimes  more 
noble  than  more  spectacular  deeds  of  bravery. 

Lieutenant  Hines  was  born  on  July  24,  1896,  in 
Chicago,  Illinois.  He  entered  Phillips  Academy  in 
1913,  but  left  two  years  later,  with  his  course  incom- 
plete, in  order  to  enter  Yale.  At  Andover  he  was  a 
member  of  the  Phi  Lambda  Delta  society.  He  had  a 
singularly  pleasing  personality,  entirely  modest  and 
unpretentious.  By  nature  he  was  one  of  the  most  af- 
fectionate, kindly,  and  unselfish  of  boys.  Yet,  as  his 
story  shows,  he  had  a  persistence  and  a  resolution 
which,  had  he  lived,  would  have  marked  him  out  for 
success.  He  had  already  received  his  promotion  to  be 
First  Lieutenant,  and  had  been  recommended  for  a 
Captaincy.

ELLIOT  ADAMS  CHAPIN,  '14 

"One  crowded  hour  of  glorious  life 
Is  worth  an  age  without  a  name." 

Sir  Walter  Scott. 

Elliot  Adams  Chapin  is  still  remembered  on  An- 
dover  Hill  as  a  boy  of  unusual  personal  charm.  Un- 
like most  of  those  who  spend  only  one  year  at  Phillips 
Academy,  he  made  a  host  of  warm  friends.  He  played 
for  some  weeks  on  the  football  squad  and  was  elected 
to  Phi  Delta  Sigma;  and  he  was  also  exceptionally 
popular  in  his  class  and  in  the  school  at  large. 

He  was  born  May  10,  1895,  in  West  Somerville, 
Massachusetts.  After  graduating  from  Andover  in 
1914,  he  went  to  Harvard,  but  left  college  before 
completing  his  course  in  order  to  enlist  in  the  British 
Royal  Flying  Corps,  as  a  member  of  which  he  was 
commissioned  First  Lieutenant  in  the  spring  of  1918. 
On  June  27,  while  bombing  Thionville,  he  was  en- 
gaged in  combat  by  a  German  plane  at  a  height  of 
thirteen  thousand  feet;  an  incendiary  bullet  pierced 
his  petrol  tank,  and  his  machine  fell  in  flames.  His 
friend.  Lieutenant  Walker,  of  the  same  squadron 
(the  99th),  who  was  only  fifty  feet  away  from  Lieu- 
tenant Chapin  when  he  fell,  wrote: — 

"When  he  saw  death  staring  him  in  the  face,  I  saw  him  turn 
around  to  his  observer,  reach  out  his  hand,  and  shake  hands  with 
him.  He  died  a  hero's  death,  unafraid,  and  was  a  son  for  any 
parent  to  be  proud  of.  We  all  loved  him,  and  he  was  as  fine  a 
type  of  Christian  manhood  as  could  possibly  be  found."

JOHN  PROUT  WEST,  '13 

"  That  pain  may  cease  he  yields  his  flesh  to  pain. 
To  banish  war  he  must  a  warrior  be. 
He  dwells  in  Night  eternal  Dawn  to  see, 
And  gladly  dies,  abundant  life  to  gain." 

Joyce  Kilmer. 

John  Prout  West  was  born  October  3, 1894,  in  Rut- 
land, Vermont.  During  his  two  years  at  Phillips 
Academy,  he  sang  on  the  Glee  Club  and  made  a  com- 
mendable record  in  his  studies.  At  Sheffield  Scientific 
School,  where  he  was  a  member  of  Phi  Gamma  Delta, 
he  graduated  in  1916,  and  spent  the  following  sum- 
mer in  training  with  the  Yale  Battery.  In  May,  1917, 
he  attended  the  Plattsburg  Officers'  Training  Camp, 
but  in  July  went  to  Canada  and  enlisted  in  the  Royal 
Air  Forces.  After  a  course  of  instruction  in  Canada, 
England,  and  Scotland,  he  received  his  commission 
as  Second  Lieutenant  on  October  12,  1917.  He  was 
not  ordered  to  combat  duty  until  April,  1918,  but  he 
soon  had  three  German  planes  to  his  credit  and  was 
making  a  reputation  as  a  gallant  and  fearless  fighter. 
On  June  28,  however,  he  was  overcome  by  an  enemy 
airman  and  his  body  fell  behind  the  German  lines.

STANWOOD  ELLIOTT  HILL,  '18 

"  'Qui  procul  hinc,'  the  legend's  writ, — 
The  frontier  grave  is  far  away, — 
'Qui  ante  diem  periit; 

Sed  miles,  sed  pro  patria.' " 

Sir  Henry  Newbolt. 

Stanwood  Elliott  Hill  entered  Phillips  Academy 
in  1916,  but  was  forced  by  illness  to  leave  school  after 
only  a  few  weeks.  Even  in  that  short  period,  however, 
he  had  shown  unusual  athletic  ability,  and  had  won 
the  recognition  of  his  fellows. 

He  was  born  in  Boston,  May  8,  1895,  and  came  to 
Andover  after  some  years  in  the  Huntington  and 
Berkeley  Schools.  In  May,  1917,  after  his  recovery 
from  sickness,  he  enlisted  with  Company  A,  14th 
Engineers,  and,  on  July  29,  went  overseas.  He  and 
nine  others  were  the  first  American  soldiers  in  the 
trenches,  their  entrance  having  been  made  in  Septem- 
ber, at  Telegraph  Hill,  near  Arras.  Hill  was  with  that 
famous  detachment  which,  in  April,  1918,  stopped 
the  German  advance  at  a  critical  moment  for  the 
Allies.  His  regiment,  after  heroic  fighting  at  Cambrai, 
was  sent  back  to  Calais  to  operate  a  small  broad  gauge 
railroad.  There  he  was  stricken  with  influenza,  but 
was  discharged  from  the  hospital  as  cured.  On  July  3 
he  was  again  taken  ill  with  meningitis  and  removed  to 
an  isolation  hospital  at  Calais,  where  he  died,  July  6, 
1918,  without  having  regained  consciousness.  On  July 
9  he  was  buried  with  full  military  honors,  and  all  the 
officers  of  the  regiment  followed  his  body  to  its  last 
resting-place  in  the  British  Cemetery,  overlooking  the 
English  Channel.

GEORGE  WAITE  GOODWIN,  '12 

"He  felt  his  country's  need;  he  knew 
The  work  her  children  had  to  do; 

And  when,  at  last,  he  heard  the  call 
In  her  behalf  to  serve  and  dare  .  .  . 

He  stood  the  unquestioned  peer  of  all." 

Whit  tier. 

George  Waite  Goodwin  was  born  July  31,  1895,  in 
Glens  Falls,  New  York.  At  Phillips  Academy  he 
spent  one  year,  graduating  in  1912  with  honors  in  all 
his  subjects;  and  at  Yale  his  record  was  equally  cred- 
itable. He  completed  one  year  at  Harvard  Law 
School,  but  sailed  on  June  25, 1917,  for  France  to  join 
the  American  Ambulance  Field  Service.  While  sta- 
tioned near  the  Verdun  front,  he  was  decorated  by  the 
French  government  for  bravery.  When  his  term  of 
enlistment  was  completed,  he,  like  so  many  Andover 
men,  enlisted  in  aviation  and  was  commissioned  a 
Second  Lieutenant,  May  18,  1918. 

On  the  morning  of  July  15,  at  Chateauroux,  he  was 
starting  out  for  a  "solo"  flight,  when  a  French  ma- 
chine, proceeding  in  another  direction,  suddenly 
swerved,  cutting  off  the  tail  of  his  plane.  He  fell  one 
hundred  meters  to  the  ground,  and  never  regained 
consciousness.  He  was  buried  in  the  beautiful  Ameri- 
can cemetery  at  Chateauroux;  and  all  the  members 
of  the  command,  together  with  several  French  officers 
and  representatives  from  the  staff  of  the  Command- 
ing General,  attended  the  funeral. 

Letters  from  his  comrades  indicate  that  Lieutenant 
Goodwin  had  shown  great  promise  as  an  aviator.  His

generous  and  sensitive  nature  made  friends  every- 
where, and  even  men  who  had  known  him  but  slightly 
wrote  to  his  family  to  express  their  sorrow  at  his 
death.  Lieutenant  Norman  C.  Fitts,  his  companion  at 
Andover  and  Yale,  said: — 

"He  was  easily  that  one  of  us  who  was  best  liked  by  the  French 
officers  and  instructors  at  the  school."

LESTER  CLEMENT  BARTON,  '02 

"  You  snatched  the  sword,  and  answered  as  you  went. 
For  fear  your  eager  feet  should  be  outrun. 
And  with  the  flame  of  your  bright  youth  unspent 
Went  shouting  up  the  pathway  to  the  sun." 

Mrs.  Robertson  Glasgow. 

Lester  Clement  Barton  was  commissioned  as  Sec- 
ond Lieutenant  at  Fort  Sheridan  in  November,  1917, 
and  went  overseas  in  December  as  an  officer  in  Bat- 
tery B,  101st  Field  Artillery.  After  some  further 
training  at  Saumur,  he  was  sent  to  the  front.  In  the 
battle  of  Belleau  Wood,  on  July  18,  1918,  Lieutenant 
Barton  displayed  the  utmost  heroism.  He  had  just 
carried  back  "through  a  hell  of  shell  fire"  the  seventh 
wounded  soldier  from  his  platoon  when  a  shell  struck 
his  dugout  and  he  was  instantly  killed.  On  January  12, 
1919,  while  his  brother  and  sister  were  visiting  the 
battlefield,  they  found  a  muddy  and  discolored  hand- 
kerchief on  which  was  woven  unmistakably  the  name 
of  Lester  Clement  Barton. 

Lieutenant  Barton  was  born  June  27,  1884,  in 
Maywood,  Illinois.  After  leaving  Phillips  Academy, 
he  graduated  from  Yale  in  1906  and  then  studied  law, 
spending  one  year  at  the  University  of  Chicago  and 
two  years  at  Harvard.  In  1910  he  opened  a  law  office 
in  Chicago.  He  was  at  one  time  an  assistant  state's 
attorney  for  Cook  County,  and  he  was  later  engaged 
in  examining  titles  for  the  Chicago  Title  and  Trust 
Company. 

In  courage,  loyalty,  and  disregard  of  self  Lieuten-

ant  Barton  was  worthy  of  the  best  traditions  of  the 
American  Army.  His  men  spoke  of  him  always  with 
respect  and  love,  and  looked  upon  him  as  a  gallant 
and  fearless  officer.

ROBERT  MORSS  LOVETT,  '14 

"And  so  espoused  to  death,  with  blood  he  seal'd 
A  testament  of  noble-ending  love." 

Shakspere. 

Robert  Morss  Lovett  was  killed  in  action  in  the  ever 
memorable  attack  through  the  Bois  de  Retz,  on  July 
18,  1918.  The  story  of  his  death  is  intensely  dramatic. 
On  the  morning  of  Thursday,  July  18,  his  regiment, 
the  103d  Infantry,  was  ordered  to  go  "over  the  top" 
and  capture  a  hill  manned  by  German  machine  guns. 
His  platoon,  at  the  signal,  started  out  through  wheat- 
fields,  with  the  growing  wheat  fully  a  yard  high,  fac- 
ing the  fire  of  snipers  all  the  way  and  suffering  heavy 
losses.  As  they  were  crawling  along.  Lieutenant 
Lovett  was  hit  in  the  thigh,  and  said,  "That  is  a  funny 
place  to  get  hit."  Soon  after  the  order  came  to  retreat, 
but,  as  he  was  creeping  back,  he  was  shot  through  the 
head  and  instantly  killed.  When  the  litter-bearers 
went  out  later  for  the  wounded,  they  discovered  that 
the  Germans  had  stolen  the  dead  man's  watch  and 
money, — everything  he  had,  including  letters.  He  was 
buried  in  the  little  cemetery  at  Bouresche,  where  his 
grave  is  cared  for  by  French  civilians.  Throughout 
the  attack,  according  to  eyewitnesses.  Lieutenant 
Lovett  was  brave  to  the  point  of  recklessness,  and, 
taking  the  dangerous  positions  himself,  spared  his  men 
as  much  as  possible. 

Lovett  was  born  July  21,  1896,  in  Boston,  the  son 
of  Professor  Robert  Morss  Lovett,  later  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Chicago,  but  now  editor  of  The  Dial.  At 
Phillips  Academy,  where  he  spent  three  years,  he 

81

played  on  the  lacrosse  team.  His  classroom  work, 
especially  in  English,  was  of  a  high  order.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  class  of  1918  at  Harvard,  but  withdrew 
in  order  to  attend  the  Plattsburg  Training  Camp  in 
1917.  His  commission  as  Second  Lieutenant  came  in 
August,  1917,  and  in  September  he  went  overseas  as 
an  officer  in  Company  F,  103d  Infantry,  26th 
(Yankee)  Division.

HOWARD  WALTER  REAL,  '94 

"Whose  passions  not  his  masters  are; 
Whose  soul  is  still  prepared  for  death, 
Untied  unto  the  world  by  care 
Of  public  fame  or  private  breath." 

Sir  Henry  Wotton. 

Howard  Walter  Beal  was  doing  his  bit  for  the 
Allied  cause  long  before  America  entered  the  Great 
War.  The  smoke  was  still  rising  from  Belgian  villages, 
when,  on  September  4,  1914,  he  abandoned  his  medi- 
cal practice  in  Worcester,  Massachusetts,  and  sailed 
with  the  first  American  Red  Cross  ship  for  Europe. 
He  was  put  in  charge  of  the  American  Women's  War 
Hospital  of  two  hundred  and  fifty  beds  at  Paignton, 
England,  and  remained  there  for  fourteen  months, 
doing  a  work  which  won  from  Englishmen  the  highest 
praise.  A  nervous  breakdown  then  forced  him  to 
return  to  America;  but,  when  the  United  States  en- 
tered the  war,  he,  as  an  officer  in  the  Medical  Reserve 
Corps,  was  called  at  once  into  service,  with  the  com- 
mission of  Major.  Sailing  August  9,  1917,  he  was 
made  Surgeon  in  charge  of  the  Paris  district,  but 
later,  having  requested  a  station  at  the  front,  he  was 
made  Consulting  Surgeon  of  the  1st  Division.  On 
July  18,  1918,  near  the  village  of  Mortefontaine, 
south  of  Soissons,  he  was  wounded,  and  died  two  days 
later  at  Base  Hospital  No.  1,  Neuilly,  Paris. 

Major  Beal  was  born  November  26,  1869,  in  Ban- 
gor, Maine.  He  graduated  from  Phillips  Academy  in 
1894  and  from  Harvard  Medical  School  in  1898.  In 
the  Spanish  War  he  held  a  commission  as  Second 
Lieutenant.  He  was  a  man  of  steadfast  and  earnest 
qualities,  with  the  spirit  of  self-sacrifice  in  his  heart.

JOHN  SHAW  PFAFFMAN,  '12 

"Lord,  guard  and  guide  the  men  who  fly 
Through  the  great  spaces  of  the  sky, 
Be  with  them  traversing  the  air 
In  dark'ning  storm  or  sunshine  fair." 

Mary  C.  D.  Hamilton. 

John  Shaw  Pfaffman  was  born  April  27,  1894,  in 
Quincy,  Massachusetts.  After  an  early  education  at 
the  schools  in  his  native  town,  he  came  to  Phillips 
Academy  in  1911  and  remained  one  year,  winning 
some  distinction  on  his  class  athletic  teams.  At  Har- 
vard he  was  prominent  because  of  his  dramatic  ability. 
He  later  entered  the  American  Ambulance  Service 
and  completed  the  six  months'  term  of  enlistment.  He 
then  applied  for  aviation,  was  accepted  in  October, 
1917,  and  went  through  a  course  of  instruction.  On 
July  21,  1918,  he  went  up  for  his  last  flight  at  six 
thousand  feet,  at  the  satisfactory  completion  of  which 
he  would  have  received  his  brevet  as  pilot.  While  he 
was  returning  to  his  hangar,  he  was  caught  in  an  air- 
pocket  and,  at  the  same  moment,  assailed  by  a  power- 
ful gust  of  wind,  which  tore  off  the  wing  of  his  plane. 
In  spite  of  his  efforts  to  right  himself,  he  fell  and  was 
dashed  to  death.  His  funeral  was  attended  by  throngs 
of  comrades  and  by  French  officers  and  civilian  sym- 
pathizers. Lieutenant  Mayeur  of  the  Headquarters 
Staff  pronounced  a  eulogy,  and  the  dead  cadet  was 
laid  to  rest  in  the  cemetery  at  Voves.

HAROLD  CLINTON  WASGATT,    16 

"  You  wore  courage  as  you  .wore  your  youth 
With  carelessness  and  joy." 

W.  M.  Letts. 

Harold  Clinton  Wasgatt  was  born  July  13,  1896, 
in  Boston,  Massachusetts.  At  Everett  High  School 
he  played  on  the  championship  football  eleven,  and 
later,  at  Phillips  Academy,  he  made  the  school  team. 
His  combination  of  a  powerful  physique  with  a  mind 
quick  of  apprehension  made  him  a  formidable  oppo- 
nent. At  the  close  of  his  one  year  at  Andover,  he  was 
ready  for  college,  and  entered  Massachusetts  Insti- 
tute of  Technology  in  the  following  autumn.  In  the 
spring  of  1917  he  attended  the  Officers'  Training 
Camp  at  Plattsburg  and  received  there  his  commission 
as  Second  Lieutenant  in  the  Reserve  Corps.  A  few 
days  later,  however,  while  he  was  at  Camp  Devens,  he 
learned  that  an  examination  which  he  had  taken  for  a 
Lieutenancy  in  the  Regular  Army  had  been  success- 
ful, and  he  was  ordered,  first  to  Fort  Leavenworth, 
and  later  to  Gettysburg,  where  he  was  attached  to  the 
59th  Infantry.  When  his  regiment  was  sent  to  Char- 
lotte, North  Carolina,  Lieutenant  Wasgatt  was  as- 
signed to  Fort  Sill,  for  instruction  in  machine  gun  fire, 
and,  after  completing  the  course  of  eight  weeks,  was 
returned  to  his  regiment  with  the  rank  of  First  Lieu- 
tenant and  made  commanding  officer  of  its  Machine 
Gun  Company.  He  went  overseas  in  May,  1918. 

Very  little  is  known  of  the  circumstances  of  his 
death.  On  the  morning  of  July  18  he  went  "over  the

top"  with  the  59th  Infantry,  and,  while  charging  with 
his  company,  was  struck  in  the  forehead  by  a  machine 
gun  bullet.  The  wound  proved  to  be  mortal,  and  he 
died  some  days  later.  The  testimony  of  those  who  saw 
him  in  that  last  attack  shows  that  he  was  cool  and 
determined  to  the  end,  and  went  steadily  forward  in 
the  teeth  of  the  most  terrifying  fire.  He  lies  buried  in 
the  small  military  cemetery  just  outside  of  Priez, 
about  ten  miles  north  of  Chateau-Thierry.

JOHN  LEWIS  ROSS,  '15 

"  For  thee  their  pilgrim  swords  were  tried, 
Thy  flaming  word  was  in  their  scrips, 
They  battled,  they  endured,  they  died 

To  make  a  new  Apocalypse. 
Master  and  Maker,  God  of  Right, 
The  soldier  dead  are  at  thy  gate. 
Who  kept  the  spears  of  honor  bright 
And  freedom's  house  inviolate." 

John  Drinkwater. 

John  Lewis  Ross  left  behind  him  a  record  of  heroic 
exploits  unsurpassed  in  the  annals  of  the  war.  In 
April,  1917,  he  enlisted  in  the  famous  7th  Regiment 
of  the  New  York  National  Guard,  but,  in  order  to  get 
to  France  sooner,  volunteered  for  the  69th  Regiment, 
and  became  a  private  in  Company  K,  165th  Infantry, 
in  the  glorious  42d,  or  Rainbow,  Division.  While  at 
Camp  Mills,  he  was  made  a  Corporal;  and  he  sailed 
for  France  on  October  31,  1917.  In  the  trenches, 
March  18, 1918,  he  won  his  Sergeancy.  During  the  big 
gas  attack  of  March  21,  in  which  his  company  suffered 
severely.  Sergeant  Ross  and  a  comrade  carried  a 
wounded  soldier  through  unknown  woods  under  heavy 
shell  fire  to  a  dressing-station.  He  then  returned  to  the 
trenches  and  stood  guard  alone  throughout  that  night, 
for  his  entire  platoon  were  so  badly  gassed  that  they 
were  helpless.  On  the  following  morning  they  were 
led  out,  blind  and  burned,  but  safe;  and  Sergeant 
Ross  was  obliged  to  spend  two  months  in  a  hospital 
before  he  recovered  from  the  burns  which  he  had  re- 
ceived. On  June  1  he  rejoined  his  company,  only  to 
meet  death  in  action,  July  29,  1918,  in  the  terrible 
battle  of  the  Ourcq  River. 

87 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

Sergeant  Ross  was  only  twenty  years  old  at  the 
time  of  his  death.  Born  April  25,  1898,  he  spent  three 
years  at  Phillips  Academy,  but  left  in  1914  in  order 
to  go  to  Englewood  High  School.  Although  he  passed 
his  preliminary  examinations  for  Princeton,  he  de- 
cided to  enter  business.  At  the  time  when  war  broke 
out,  he  was  active  in  the  "Billy"  Sunday  campaign  in 
New  York  City. 

The  calm  bravery  which  young  Americans  of  Ser- 
geant Ross's  type  showed  in  meeting  critical  situations 
is  one  of  the  miracles  of  the  war.  By  nature  quiet  and 
peaceful,  he  rose  in  emergencies  to  heroic  stature,  and 
fought  with  a  desperation  and  a  resolute  fury  which 
can  never  be  forgotten. 

His  chaplain  in  the  165th  Infantry  wrote  as  fol- 
lows:— 

"Even  in  this  life,  where  we  have  to  get  hardened  to  death, 
his  loss  is  still  distinctly  felt.  Practically  every  man  in  the  regi- 
ment is  known  to  me  personally,  but  John  stood  out.  I  tried  to 
get  him  the  Croix  de  Guerre  for  gallantry  in  action  during  the  big 
gas  attack.  .  .  .  He  had  the  kind  of  death  he  would  have  asked 
for  if  it  had  to  come."

DOUGLAS  BANNAN  GREEN,  '00 

"  Rejoice,  whatever  anguish  rend  the  heart, 
That  God  has  given  you  a  priceless  dower. 
To  live  in  these  great  times  and  have  your  part 
In  Freedom's  crowning  hour." 

Douglas  Bannan  Green  was  a  First  Lieutenant  in 
Company  H,  168th  Infantry,  belonging  to  the  42d,  or 
Rainbow,  Division.  He  arrived  overseas  on  December 
12,  1917,  and  took  an  active  part  in  the  strenuous 
campaigns  east  of  Rheims  and  the  Ourcq  River.  On 
July  29,  1918,  the  Battalion  Adjutant  having  been 
killed  in  action,  Lieutenant  Green  was  assigned  as 
Battalion  Adjutant,  but  was  returned  to  his  com- 
pany two  days  later;  on  August  1  he  led  his  platoon 
in  an  attack  on  Hill  212  north  of  the  town  of  Sergy, — 
the  town  that  changed  hands  nine  times  in  twenty- 
four  hours.  The  attack  accomplished  its  objective,  but 
early  in  the  charge  Lieutenant  Green  received  a 
wound  in  the  abdomen  from  a  machine  gun  bullet.  He 
was  rescued  by  two  of  his  men  under  heavy  fire,  and 
carried  back  by  stretcher-bearers,  but  died  the  same 
day. 

Lieutenant  Green  was  born  June  26,  1881.  After 
graduating  from  Phillips  Academy,  he  went  to  Yale, 
where  for  two  years  he  was  captain  of  the  college  base- 
ball team.  He  was  a  member  of  Psi  Upsilon.  In  1906 
he  graduated  from  the  New  York  Law  School  and  at 
once  began  practice  with  the  firm  of  Hitchings  and 
Palliser  in  New  York  City.  He  went  to  the  Plattsburg 
Officers'  Training  Camp  in  1917,  and  there  won  his 
commission  as  First  Lieutenant. 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

On  January  19,  1919,  a  memorial  service  was  held 
for  Lieutenant  Green  in  his  native  city  of  Pottsville, 
Pennsylvania,  and  many  of  his  classmates  came  long 
distances  to  testify  to  their  affection  for  him  and  their 
regret  at  his  death.  One  of  his  last  letters,  written  to 
his  sister,  Mrs.  E.  D.  Smith  of  Pottsville,  illustrates 
his  determined  and  devoted  spirit: — 

"There  isn't  anything  that  I  would  rather  do  than  go  over  and 
fight  the  Germans.  So,  whatever  you  may  think  about  it,  just 
remember  that  I'm  doing  what  I  want  to  do,  and  something  that 
I  wouldn't  give  up  my  chance  of  doing  for  all  the  rest  of  my 
natural  life.  When  it's  all  over,  you'll  be  glad  to  be  able  to  say 
that  I  went  over  and  did  my  duty.  Every  one  has  to  suffer  some  to 
win  this  war,  and,  if  my  going  is  hard  for  you,  think  that  that  is 
the  part  you  are  taking  in  the  greatest  thing  that  the  civilized 
world  has  ever  done.  Giving  up  something  for  the  cause  is  a  real 
privilege,  it  seems  to  me,  and  you  certainly  would  not  want  me  to 
be  deprived  of  that  privilege."

GEORGE  LESLIE  HOWARD,  '02 

"  And  if  you  be  done  to  the  death,  what  then 
If  you  battled  the  best  you  could; 
If  you  played  your  part  in  the  world  of  men; 
Why  the  Critic  wiU  call  it  good." 

George  Leslie  Howard  was  born  March  4,  1884,  in 
Malone,  New  York.  At  Phillips  Academy  he  was  a 
member  of  the  class  of  1902,  but  did  not  graduate. 
After  one  year  at  Sheffield  Scientific  School,  he  went 
into  business  with  Austin,  Nichols  and  Company  of 
New  York  City.  He  later  returned  to  Malone  as 
manager  of  the  Andrus-Robinson  Company  of  that 
city. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  Mexican  trouble  in  1916, 
Howard  enlisted  in  Company  K,  1st  Infantry,  New 
York  National  Guard,  and,  on  June  26,  1917,  was 
commissioned  a  Second  Lieutenant  and  assigned  to 
the  Regimental  Supply  Company.  After  serving  for 
some  weeks  as  Aide  to  Colonel  Bates,  he  was  trans- 
ferred on  November  10  to  Company  L,  105th  Infan- 
try, and  sailed,  on  May  7,  1918,  for  France  with  the 
27th  Division.  On  July  1  he  was  promoted  to  the  rank 
of  First  Lieutenant.  On  August  10,  1918,  he  was 
severely  wounded  near  Esqueltecq,  France,  and  died 
on  the  same  day.

EGBERT  FOSTER  TETLEY,  '13 

"  He  is  dead  who  will  not  fight ; 
And  who  dies  fighting  has  increase." 

Julian  Grenfell. 

Egbert  Foster  Tetley,  at  the  Andover  Commence- 
ment of  1913,  when  Colonel  Theodore  Roosevelt  was 
the  guest  of  honor,  spoke  in  the  Potter  contest  and 
won  so  many  other  prizes  that  he  was  a  conspicuous 
figure.  On  August  10,  1918,  a  little  more  than  five 
years  later,  he  laid  down  his  life  in  France. 

Tetley  was  born  December  8,  1893,  in  Methuen, 
Massachusetts.  After  four  successful  years  in  Phil- 
lips Academy,  he  entered  Brown  University,  where 
he  continued  to  make  a  brilliant  record.  In  his  Senior 
year,  however,  he  left  to  attend  the  Officers'  Training 
Camp  at  Plattsburg,  where  he  was  commissioned  a 
Second  Lieutenant.  He  was  assigned  to  the  47th  In- 
fantry, and,  after  some  months  at  Camp  Greene, 
sailed  overseas  in  May,  1918.  He  was  shortly  pro- 
moted to  be  First  Lieutenant,  but  was  later  killed  in 
action  near  Fismes  at  the  head  of  his  men. 

Before  leaving  Brown,  Lieutenant  Tetley  had  re- 
ceived an  appointment  as  Instructor  in  English  in  that 
college.  It  was  a  position  for  which  he  was  well  quali- 
fied, for  all  his  tastes  were  literary  and  his  heart  would 
have  been  in  his  work.  But  he  was  not  destined  to  live 
out  his  life  in  book-lined  rooms  among  cloistered  halls. 
The  blood  which  might  have  grown  sluggish  in  the 
study  was  poured  out,  warm  and  ruddy,  for  his  coun- 
try in  her  hour  of  danger.  His  example  is  nobler  than 
if  he  had  lived  out  his  tale  of  three  score  and  ten.

FRANK  RONALD  SIMMONS,  '03 

"  With  calmest  courage  he  was  ever  ready- 
To  teach  that  action  was  the  truth  of  thought." 

Lowell. 

Frank  Ronald  Simmons  has  been  rightly  called  a 
"Hero  of  the  Silent  Service."  Born  in  Providence, 
Rhode  Island,  May  16, 1885,  he  graduated  from  Phil- 
lips Academy  in  1903  and  from  Yale  College  in  1907. 
He  studied  architecture  in  Massachusetts  Institute  of 
Technology,  but  was  more  attracted  by  painting,  and 
established  himself  in  an  atelier  in  Paris.  There,  in  the 
first  months  of  the  war,  he  acted  as  Secretary  of  the 
Committee  for  the  Relief  of  Tuberculous  French  Sol- 
diers ;  and  his  knowledge  of  French  and  French  cus- 
toms recommended  him  to  Major  (now  General) 
Marlborough  Churchill,  who  had  come  to  Paris  on  a 
military  mission  in  March,  1917.  Simmons  was  instru- 
mental in  evolving  the  system  of  intelligence  work  on 
which  depended  the  successful  cooperation  of  Ameri- 
can forces  with  those  of  the  French.  In  August,  1917, 
he  accepted  a  commission  as  First  Lieutenant,  and  in 
February,  1918,  he  was  promoted  to  a  Captaincy.  He 
was  transferred  to  the  General  Staff  and  assigned  to 
the  Intelligence  Section  of  the  Service  of  Supply,  in 
a  most  responsible  position.  While  on  a  mission  to 
Marseilles,  he  was  stricken  with  double  pneumonia, 
and  died,  August  12,  1918.  His  long  period  of  strain 
and  his  weakness  from  overwork  made  him  an  easy 
victim.  His  recommendation  for  a  majority  had  been 
sent  in  shortly  before  his  death. 

93 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

Captain  Simmons  was  a  man  of  vigorous  intellect 
and  resolute  purpose.  His  tact  in  bringing  about  rela- 
tions of  intimacy  between  French  and  American  offi- 
cers won  him  commendation  from  high  quarters,  and 
his  army  superiors  paid  him  sincere  tribute  at  the  time 
of  his  funeral.

ALEXANDER  BERN  BRUCE,  '11 

"  A  soldier,  with  a  soldier's  loyal  faith ;  who  sees 

God  still  the  same  when  the  swords  of  the  world  are  bared; 
And  waits  with  firm  assurance  for  His  dark  decrees. 
Resolute,  serene,  prepared." 

George  Rostrevor. 

Alexander  Bern  Bruce  was  the  only  member  of  the 
Phillips  Academy  teaching  staff  to  lose  his  life  in  the 
Great  War.  His  colleagues  there  knew  him  as  one  of 
the  quietest  and  most  modest  of  men,  one  who  per- 
formed his  duties  willingly  and  efficiently,  without 
any  ostentation  or  craving  for  applause. 

"Alec"  Bruce  was  by  nature  a  scholar.  Born  in 
Seattle,  May  3,  1894,  he  later  came  east  with  his 
family  and  was  sent  to  Andover,  where  he  was  on  the 
honor  roll  for  four  consecutive  years  and  graduated 
in  1911  with  distinction.  At  Harvard  he  was  elected 
a  member  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa.  In  the  autumn  of  1915 
he  returned  to  Andover  as  Assistant  in  Chemistry, 
living  in  Williams  Hall.  When  the  Andover  Ambu- 
lance Unit  was  organized  in  the  spring  of  1917,  Bruce 
went  abroad  with  "Fred"  Daly  in  charge  of  it,  and 
later  volunteered  for  camion  work  with  the  French 
Army.  When  his  stipulated  term  of  enlistment  ex- 
pired, he  joined  the  LaFayette  Escadrille,  went 
through  a  course  of  training  in  aviation,  was  event- 
ually commissioned  a  Second  Lieutenant,  and  was 
assigned  to  the  94th  Aero  Pursuit  Squadron.  On 
August  17, 1918,  while  he  was  engaged  in  combat  near 
Cruaux  with  several  German  planes,  his  machine 
brushed  wings  with  that  of  another  pilot,  and  he  fell 

95 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

nearly  two  miles.  Although  his  body  was  not  mangled, 
his  neck  was  broken  and  he  was  evidently  killed 
instantly. 

Bruee's  manly  Christian  character  needs  no  eulogy. 
One  of  his  companions  abroad  wrote,  "Everybody  who 
knew  him  recognized  him  as  one  of  the  cleanest,  most 
straightforward  chaps  in  the  crowd."  Another  of  his 
friends  said  of  him,  "In  the  years  he  had  lived,  few  as 
they  were,  he  made  a  record  of  brilliant  achievements 
in  the  classroom  and  on  the  battlefield.  Surely  he  has 
not  lived  in  vain."  In  the  early  days  of  our  war  many 
men  talked  much  about  what  they  planned  to  do. 
"Alec"  Bruce  said  very  little;  but  when  the  hour 
struck,  he  did  more  than  talk, — he  went.  His  career 
is  an  inspiration  to  all  true  Americans.

LEVI  SANDERSON  TENNEY,  '16 

"  That  other  generations  might  possess — 

From  shame  and  menace  free  in  years  to  come — 
A  richer  heritage  of  happiness, 

He  marched  to  that  heroic  martyrdom." 

Alan  Seeger. 

Levi  Sanderson  Tenney  was  born  June  15, 1897,  in 
Glen  Ridge,  New  Jersey.  He  spent  only  one  year  at 
Phillips  Academy,  graduating  in  the  class  of  1916. 
He  is  remembered  as  a  quiet,  conscientious  boy,  al- 
ways pleasant  but  somewhat  reserved.  Although  he 
entered  the  class  of  1920  at  Yale  College,  he  withdrew 
in  February,  1917,  to  take  a  position  with  the  National 
City  Bank  of  New  York  City.  At  about  the  same  time 
he  joined  Company  L  of  the  famous  7th  Regiment  of 
the  New  York  National  Guard,  to  which  "Charlie" 
Gould  of  his  own  class  also  belonged.  When  this  was 
mustered  into  the  federal  service  as  the  107th  Infan- 
try, Tenney  went  with  it  to  Camp  Wadsworth.  In 
May,  1918,  the  regiment  went  overseas  as  part  of  the 
27th  Division,  which  joined  the  British  forces  on  the 
Flanders  battlefront.  In  their  very  first  fight,  on 
August  20,  1918,  he  was  killed.  His  father  writes: — 

"He  was  anxious  to  see  action,  chafed  at  being  kept  back  so 
long,  and  entered  into  it  fearlessly,  with  a  light  heart.  We  have 
had  a  number  of  letters  from  his  companions  in  the  company,  who 
speak  of  his  constant  cheerfulness.  He  had  no  office.  He  is  spoken 
of  in  the  government  communications  as  a  first-class  private.  .  .  . 
Of  course  we  miss  him,  but  we  feel  that  he  did  his  duty."

JAMES  ROBERTSON  CAREY,  JR.,  '11 

"They  poured  their  spirits  out  in  pride 
They  throbbed  away  the  price  of  years: 
Now  that  dear  ground  is  glorified 
With  dreams,  with  tears." 

James  Robertson  Carey,  Jr.,  was  born  May  11, 
1893,  in  Salem,  Ohio.  At  Phillips  Academy,  where  he 
was  a  member  of  the  class  of  1911,  he  made  an  excel- 
lent record  in  his  studies  and  was  popular  among  his 
mates.  Graduating  from  the  Sheffield  Scientific  School 
in  1914,  he  entered  the  Treasurer's  Department  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Railroad,  making  his  home  at  Se wick- 
ley,  Pennsylvania.  Shortly  after  the  American  declar- 
ation of  war  he  enlisted  and  was  sent  to  the  Officers' 
Training  School  at  Fort  Niagara ;  from  there  he  went 
to  the  Aviation  School  at  Cornell  and  later  to  the 
testing  ground  at  Mineola.  In  October,  1917,  he  was 
ordered  overseas,  and  continued  his  practice  work  at 
Issoudun.  After  spending  some  months  at  Foggia, 
Italy,  he  returned  in  April,  1918,  to  Issoudun,  re- 
ceived his  commission  as  Second  Lieutenant,  and  was 
placed  in  a  combat  squadron.  On  September  4,  while 
he  was  flying  from  his  base  to  the  front,  his  machine 
collapsed,  and  he  fell  to  his  death  in  the  park  of 
Chatillon-sur- Seine.  There  he  was  buried  with  special 
military  and  civic  honors,  a  fitting  tribute  to  one  who 
had  given  his  life  for  his  country.

PAUL  WAMELINK  WILSON,   04 

"  How  sleep  the  brave,  who  sink  to  rest 
By  all  their  country's  wishes  blest!" 

Campbell. 

Paul  Wamelink  Wilson  was  killed  September  12, 
1918,  at  Fort  Sheridan,  Illinois,  by  the  accidental  dis- 
charge of  a  gun.  He  had  attended  the  Officers'  Train- 
ing School  at  Fort  Benjamin  Harrison,  where  he  had 
been  commissioned  as  First  Lieutenant  in  the  Field 
Artillery.  He  was  then  assigned,  first  to  Camp  Grant, 
and  later,  in  February,  1918,  to  Fort  Sheridan,  as  an 
officer  in  the  28th  Trench  Mortar  Battery.  There  he 
made  a  brilliant  record,  standing  highest  among  the 
officers  at  the  post  in  the  mathematical  tests.  He  had 
also  been  appointed  Judge  Advocate  for  the  camp 
general  court.  His  loss  was  deeply  felt  by  his  associates 
and  by  the  men  in  his  battery. 

Wilson  was  born  July  12, 1885,  in  Cleveland,  Ohio. 
He  came  to  Phillips  Academy  in  1903,  and  left  a  year 
later  in  order  to  enter  Sheffield  Scientific  School.  At 
the  conclusion  of  his  college  work,  he  went  into  busi- 
ness, and  was  for  some  years  with  the  Westinghouse 
Electric  and  Manufacturing  Company.  In  1911  he 
became  Secretary-Treasurer  of  the  Electric  Respi- 
rone  Company  of  Cleveland,  Ohio,  and  three  years 
later  was  made  Secretary  and  Treasurer  of  the  Haver- 
shaw  Crushed  Stone  Company  of  New  York  City.  He 
was  with  this  company  at  the  time  of  his  enlistment.

ROBERT  HOWARD  GAMBLE,  '11 

"Full  short  his  journey  was;  no  dust 
Of  earth  unto  his  sandals  clave; 
The  weary  weight  that  old  men  must. 
He  bore  not  to  the  grave." 

Robert  Howard  Gamble  in  his  last  letter,  written 
on  September  5,  1918,  from  his  station  in  the  Vosges 
Mountains,  said,  "Something  big  is  going  to  happen. 
I  am  well,  happy,  and  full  of  confidence."  Seven  days 
later,  on  September  12,  in  the  midst  of  the  great  St. 
Mihiel  drive,  he  was  killed  in  action  in  the  Bois  St. 
Claude.  One  of  his  comrades  who  saw  him  drop 
writes : — 

"He  died  with  his  boots  on,  clutching  his  automatic  revolver 
as  he  fell  dead.  He  took  a  machine-gun  nest;  and  just  beyond  him 
were  two  of  the  crew  of  the  machine  gun  that  got  him  across  the 
chest." 

Another  officer  who  was  near  by  said : — 

"Our  boys  were  just  walking  away  with  the  Hun.  Bob  had 
charged  with  his  platoon,  not  following,  but  leading  them, — just 
the  kind  of  action  everyone  admires  in  an  officer.  I  saw  it  myself 
and  heard  his  men  speak  of  it  afterwards.  ...  It  was  in  an 
attack  on  a  German  machine-gun  nest  that  he  fell,  fighting  for 
his  God  and  country,  a  true  soldier  to  the  last." 

This  young  Second  Lieutenant  who  died  so  heroi- 
cally was  born  January  17,  1893,  and  lived  in  Haver- 
ford,  Pennsylvania.  He  entered  Phillips  Academy  in 
1908  and  left  in  1910,  with  his  course  incomplete,  in 
order  to  go  to  Yale.  At  Andover  he  was  a  member  of 
the  K.  O.  A.  society;  and  at  Yale  he  belonged  to 
Alpha  Delta  Phi.  After  graduating  from  Yale  in

HONOR  BIOGRAPHIES 

1915,  he  was  employed  in  the  offices  of  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Railroad.  His  interest  in  military  matters,  how- 
ever, was  very  keen,  and  he  attended  two  early  Platts- 
burg  camps.  In  1917  he  took  the  training  course  at 
Fort  Oglethorpe,  Georgia,  and  in  December  was 
commissioned  a  Second  Lieutenant.  He  was  assigned 
to  Company  A  of  the  11th  Infantry,  which  went  over- 
seas in  April,  1918,  and  became  a  part  of  the  3d  Corps 
of  the  1st  American  Army.  It  was  this  corps  which, 
on  September  15,  after  the  capture  of  the  St.  Mihiel 
sector,  received  the  special  commendation  of  General 
Pershing,  for  its  "courageous  dash  and  vigor." 

The  commanding  officer  of  the  11th  Infantry  wrote 
concerning  Lieutenant  Gamble : — 

"He  was  a  brave,  courageous,  and  efficient  officer,  and  an  honor 
to  his  regiment.  By  his  death  the  regiment  suffered  a  loss'  of  one 
of  its  most  promising  lieutenants."

GORDON  BARTLETT,  '16 

"  So  line  a  spirit,  daring,  yet  serene, — 
He  may  not,  surely,  lapse  from  what  has  been; 
Greater,  not  less,  his  wondering  mind  must  be; 
Ampler  the  splendid  vision  he  must  see." 

John  Hoghen. 

Gordon  Bartlett  was  cradled  in  romance  and  died 
in  the  spirit  of  one  making  the  "great  adventure."  He 
was  born  in  the  little  city  of  Tottori,  Japan,  on  March 
12,  1898,  and,  up  to  the  age  of  fourteen,  lived  largely 
with  orientals,  among  "all  sorts  and  conditions  of 
men."  His  father  then  sent  him  to  Phillips  Academy, 
where  he  remained  four  years.  He  sang  on  the  Glee 
Club  and  the  Choir,  ran  on  the  track  team,  and  was 
President  of  the  Society  of  Inquiry.  Graduating  in 
1916,  he  went  on  to  Dartmouth,  but  the  American 
Declaration  of  War  in  the  following  spring  swept  him 
out  of  his  college  life  into  the  Red  Cross  Volunteer 
Ambulance  Corps,  as  a  member  of  which  he  sailed, 
May  5, 1917,  for  France. 

After  several  weeks  of  delay  in  Paris,  his  unit,  the 
61st  Ambulance  Corps,  went  into  action  before  Ver- 
dun. Here,  in  August,  he  received  the  army  corps 
citation  for  the  Croix  de  Guerre,  with  a  star,  for  two 
specified  acts  of  extreme  bravery:  one  of  rescuing  a 
comrade  in  sudden  and  unaccustomed  danger  the  first 
night  of  service ;  the  other  for  protracted  attention  to 
duty  during  six  hours  of  peril,  when  he  was  declared  to 
have  "rescued  all  the  dangerously  wounded  in  his  dis- 
trict all  by  himself."  When  the  United  States  took 
over  the  ambulance  service,  he  started  for  home,  but, 

102 


HONOR  BIOGRAPHIES 

while  in  Paris,  felt  the  call  of  duty  so  strongly  that  he 
enlisted  in  the  17th  Field  Artillery. 

His  regiment  saw  plenty  of  action.  He  fought  with 
the  Marines  at  Belleau  Wood  in  June,  and  in  the  fa- 
mous battle  of  the  Marne.  As  part  of  the  2d  Division 
he  saw  the  enemy  driven  back  at  Chateau- Thierry  in 
July.  In  this  fierce  battle  his  own  Battery  D  was  cited 
by  the  French  Army  for  its  share  in  bringing  victory 
to  the  Allied  forces.  Finally  in  September  came  the 
drive  at  the  St.  Mihiel  salient.  Corporal  Bartlett,  on 
September  15,  went  forward  as  a  member  of  a  volun- 
teer gun  crew  from  Battery  D  to  fire  a  captured  Ger- 
man six-inch  naval  rifle  in  a  position  near  the  front 
line.  Later  he,  with  another  Corporal,  went  out  re- 
connoitering  for  other  guns,  and  did  not  return.  A 
search  party  discovered  him  some  hours  afterward, 
and  he  was  carried,  severely  wounded,  to  Evacuation 
Hospital  Number  1,  at  Sebastopol,  near  Toul.  There 
on  September  17,  1918,  he  died. 

His  last  letter,  written  September  6,  is  full  of 
cheerfulness  and  optimism.  Life  for  him,  even  at  the 
front,  had  no  dullness  or  motonony.  In  every  situation 
he  sought  the  pleasant  things,  and  he  had  no  com- 
plaints to  offer  or  criticisms  to  make.  No  hero  was 
ever  more  indifferent  to  the  world's  applause.

WILLIAM  HENRY  TAYLOR,  JR.,  '18 

"  They  say  thou  art  at  rest. 
I  heed  them  not,  though  thou  art  long. 
Dreaming  that  thou,  with  heart  still  strong 
For  fighting,  followest  some  far  quest." 

Violet  Gillespie. 

William  Henry  Taylor,  Jr.^  although  he  was  only 
nineteen  years  and  nine  months  old  when  he  left  this 
world,  had  already  distinguished  himself  by  his  cour- 
age and  audacity  in  the  air.  Like  Harold  Eadie  and 
"Alec"  Bruce,  he  fell  fighting.  On  September  18, 
1918,  while  stationed  near  the  St.  Mihiel  salient,  he 
was  flying  on  patrol  duty,  with  no  enemy  apparently 
in  sight.  Suddenly  through  a  hole  in  a  cloud  he  saw  an 
air  battle  going  on  below,  and  dived.  Just  as  he 
emerged,  he  was  attacked  by  three  Fokkers.  There 
was  a  short  combat,  but  he  was  hopelessly  outnum- 
bered, and  fell  with  his  plane  to  the  ground  just  north 
of  Etang  de  Lachaussee,  a  small  lake  near  St.  Mihiel. 

He  was  born  December  6,  1898,  in  New  York  City. 
After  some  years  at  Phillips  Academy,  he  joined  the 
Andover  Ambulance  Unit,  and  sailed  on  April  27, 
1917,  for  France.  He  was  appointed  an  Adjutant  in 
the  French  Camion  Service,  but  secured  his  discharge 
in  order  to  enter  the  Aviation  Corps  as  a  cadet.  After 
barely  three  months  of  training,  he  was  commissioned 
on  November  29  as  First  Lieutenant,  having  ad- 
vanced with  a  rapidity  almost  unprecedented.  In  Feb- 
ruary, 1918,  he  left  for  the  front  with  the  first  chasse 
sent  by  the  American  Army. 

Taylor  was  especially  cited  for  his  acrobatic  work; 

104 


HONOR  BIOGRAPHIES 

and,  although  the  youngest  member  of  the  95th  Aero 
Squadron,  he  was  made  one  of  the  three  FHght  Com- 
manders, responsible  for  five  pilots,  five  machines,  and 
twenty  mechanics.  On  May  21  he  attacked  and  de- 
stroyed a  German  photograph  plane,  operating  over 
our  lines,  and  on  May  28,  with  another  pilot,  he 
brought  down  an  enemy  biplane  out  of  a  formation  of 
five.  In  June  he  was  injured  in  an  accident,  but  re- 
joined his  squadron  in  September  and  took  an  active 
part  in  the  St.  Mihiel  drive,  doing  exceptional  work 
in  bombing  retreating  German  truck  trains.  At  the 
time  of  his  last  fight  he  had  to  his  credit  sixty-five 
hours  of  flying  over  the  Hun  lines.  He  had  been 
recommended  for  the  American  Distinguished  Service 
Cross,  and  was  granted  the  Croix  de  Guerre  by  the 
6th  French  Army. 

War  often  brings  out  in  mere  boys  the  finest  quali- 
ties of  riper  manhood.  So  it  was  with  "Bill"  Taylor. 
Still  a  youth  in  years,  he  became  a  trusted  leader  and 
a  foreman  worthy  of  any  warrior's  steel.  The  story  of 
his  deeds  has  an  Homeric  quality;  and  his  spirit  was 
no  less  dauntless  than  that  of  the  heroes  who  fought 
in  single  combat  "far  on  the  ringing  plains  of  windy 
Troy."

"  They  shall  not  grow  old  as  we  that  are  left  grow  old : 
Age  shall  not  weary  them,  nor  the  years  condemn. 
At  the  going  down  of  the  sun  and  in  the  morning 
We  will  remember  them." 

Laurence  Binyon. 

Robert  Tussey  Isett  was  born  November  17,  1887, 
in  Spruce  Creek,  Huntingdon  County,  Pennsylvania. 
At  Phillips  Academy,  where  he  spent  three  years,  he 
was  one  of  the  prominent  men  in  his  class.  He  was 
manager  of  basketball,  served  on  the  Student  Coun- 
cil, played  on  his  winning  class  football  team,  and  was 
a  member  of  the  Phi  Lambda  Delta  society.  After 
graduating  from  Cornell  University  in  1912,  he  be- 
came a  member  of  the  firm  of  E.  W.  Clark  and  Com- 
pany, bankers  of  Philadelphia.  He  enlisted  Septem- 
ber 26,  1917,  and  was  sent  to  the  Ground  Officers' 
Training  School  at  Kelly  Field,  San  Antonio,  Texas; 
there,  on  December  15,  he  was  commissioned  First 
Lieutenant.  In  May,  1918,  he  was  made  Adjutant  at 
Barron  Field,  Everman,  Texas,  and,  on  August  23, 
was  promoted  to  his  Captaincy.  On  September  21, 
while  he  was  in  the  "accuracy*'  stage  of  his  instruction, 
his  plane  suddenly  took  a  straight  nose  dive  to  the 
ground  and  he  was  instantly  killed.

"  One  more  has  joined  the  men  who  lie  and  listen 
To  us,  who  march  upon  their  burial-ground." 

Herbert  Asquith. 

Robert  Bradstreet  Whittier  was  born  April  27, 
1895,  in  Everett,  Massachusetts.  At  Phillips  Acad- 
emy, where  he  spent  three  years,  he  made  a  most  cred- 
itable record.  At  the  time  when  he  entered  the  service, 
in  1917,  he  was  in  the  employ  of  the  National  Security 
Bank  in  Boston.  He  was  sent  to  Camp  Devens,  where 
his  promotion  was  rapid.  He  was  finally  commissioned 
a  Second  Lieutenant  and  assigned  to  Company  K, 
74th  Infantry.  On  September  24,  1918,  he  died,  after 
an  illness  of  only  two  days,  from  pneumonia. 

Chaplain  Smith  of  his  regiment  wrote  to  his  pa- 
rents:— 

"You  have  given  to  the  country  and  to  the  cause  of  righteous- 
ness a  son  with  manly  qualities  of  mind,  heart,  and  soul.  As  an 
officer  of  the  74th  Infantry  he  won  our  confidence,  respect,  and 
love.  The  young  men  who  served  under  him  in  Company  K  will 
ever  cherish  his  memory."

HENRY  CAMPBELL  PRESTON,  '17 

"  A  voice  forever  stilled,  a  memory, 

Since  you  went  eastward  with  the  fighting  ships, 
A  hero  of  the  great  new  Odyssey, 

And  God  has  laid  his  finger  on  your  lips." 

Moray  Dalton. 

Henry  Campbell  Preston  and  his  pilot  were  killed 
together  in  a  dramatic  fight  against  five  German  Fok- 
kers  on  September  26,  1918,  over  Charleville,  France. 
They  fell  about  half  a  mile  out  of  the  village  and 
within  the  German  lines.  German  officers  arranged  a 
reverent  burial  service,  and  the  funeral  was  conducted 
by  a  German  chaplain.  Lieutenant  Preston  lies  in  the 
cemetery  at  Charleville. 

He  was  born  on  July  20,  1898,  in  Chicago,  Illinois. 
At  Phillips  Academy  he  was  a  student  for  nearly  a 
year,  leaving  in  the  spring  of  1916.  While  he  was  in 
LaFayette  College,  he  enlisted  in  the  aviation  service 
and  was  sent  to  the  Massachusetts  Institute  of  Tech- 
nology for  preliminary  instruction.  He  was  ordered 
abroad  in  August,  1918,  going  first  to  England  for 
final  training  in  bombing,  and  then  to  France,  where 
he  was  stationed  at  Le  Mans  and  Tours.  He  was 
eventually  commissioned  a  First  Lieutenant  and  as- 
signed to  the  20th  Aero  Squadron,  1st  Bombardment 
Group,  belonging  to  the  1st  Army  of  the  American 
Expeditionary  Forces.  This  squadron  took  part  in  all 
the  operations  of  our  army  on  the  Verdun  front,  from 
the  beginning  of  September  until  the  armistice.  For 
his  achievements  Lieutenant  Preston  was  awarded  the 
Croix  de  Guerre,  with  palm. 

Lieutenant  Preston  was  a  brave  and  gallant  officer, 
whose  memory  will  long  be  cherished  by  those  who 
knew  him  on  the  Hill.

AMMI  WRIGHT  LANCASHIRE,  '08 

"  Thine   was   the   seed-time ;    God   alone 
Beholds  the  end  of  what  is  sown; 
iBeyond  our  vision,  weak  and  dim, 
The  harvest-time  is  hid  with  him." 

Ammi  Wright  Lancashire,  only  son  of  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  J.  H.  Lancashire  of  New  York  City,  was  born 
June  28,  1887,  in  Saginaw,  Michigan.  He  spent  one 
year  at  Lawrenceville  and  three  years  at  Phillips 
Academy,  where  he  was  a  member  of  the  class  of  1908. 
At  Andover  he  was  a  member  of  the  A.  U.  V.  society. 
He  also  took  a  prominent  part  in  various  school  activi- 
ties, being  manager  of  the  Musical  Clubs,  a  member 
of  the  Promenade  Committee,  and  Vice-President  of 
his  class..  Graduating  from  Sheffield  Scientific  School 
in  1911,  he  made  a  trip  to  Europe,  and  then  took  a 
position  with  the  Detroit  National  Bank.  He  was 
ultimately  associated  with  his  father  in  the  investment 
business. 

In  the  autumn  of  1915  he  accompanied  Mr.  E. 
Alexander  Powell,  the  war  correspondent,  on  a  tour 
of  investigation  through  England  and  France.  On 
July  5,  1917,  he  was  commissioned  as  Ensign,  and 
assigned  for  duty  in  the  Cable  Censor  Department, 
New  York  City.  Desk  work,  however,  was  not  what 
he  desired;  in  the  spring  of  1918  he  applied  for  sea 
duty,  and  was  transferred  to  the  U.  S.  S.  "Kansas." 
While  this  vessel  was  in  the  Philadelphia  Navy  Yard, 
he  contracted  influenza,  which  developed  into  pneu- 
monia. He  died  September  27,  1918,  in  the  Phila- 
delphia Naval  Hospital.

PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

Lancashire,  who  was  instinctively  hospitable  and 
generous,  made  friends  wherever  he  went.  His  cheer- 
fulness and  good  humor  were  contagious.  To  Phillips 
Academy  he  was  ever  loyal,  and  his  bequest  of  $20,000 
to  his  old  school  was  merely  a  tangible  expression  of 
the  devotion  to  it  which  he  had  shown  in  countless 
ways  since  leaving  the  Hill.

GEORGE  EATON  DRESSER,  '17 

"  Our  game  was  his  but  yesteryear ; 

We  wished  him  back;  we  could  not  know 
The  self -same  hour  we  missed  him  here 
He  led  the  line  that  broke  the  foe." 

Sir  Henry  Newbolt. 

George  Eaton  Dresser  was  a  young  man  of  all- 
round  ability.  Powerful  and  active  physically,  he 
played  a  brilliant  game  on  the  football  eleven  and  the 
lacrosse  team,  besides  taking  part  in  practically  every 
form  of  outdoor  sport ;  but  he  also  stood  at  the  top  of 
his  class  in  his  studies,  and  he  found  time  to  sing  on 
the  Glee  Club  and  to  act  on  the  governing  board  of 
the  Society  of  Inquiry.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Phi 
Beta  Chi  fraternity.  These  honors,  all  easily  won,  did 
not  spoil  Dresser  in  the  least ;  he  was  always  frank  and 
modest,  and  acted  as  if  he  were  surprised  that  his 
mates  should  think  so  well  of  him. 

Dresser  was  born  July  24,  1898,  in  Chicopee, 
Massachusetts.  He  entered  Phillips  Academy  in  1915, 
graduating  two  years  later.  Soon  after  leaving  An- 
dover,  he  joined  the  American  Ambulance  Service, 
but,  with  Paul  Doolin,  changed  to  the  camion  service 
when  given  an  opportunity.  Even  this,  however,  he 
did  not  like.  In  a  letter  of  September  25,  1917,  he 
wrote : — 

"The  entire  absence  of  all  danger  makes  us  restless,  and  we 
know  that  the  camion  service  is  the  place  for  men  with  wives  and 
families,  men  to  whom  life  is  more  precious  than  to  us.  .  .  . 
Although  under  the  draft  age,  I  have  never  for  a  second  regretted 
that  I  am  on  the  spot  two  years  earlier  than  Uncle  Sam  would 
call  me;  others  feel  the  same." 

Ill 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

Dresser  wanted  aviation,  but,  when  an  opportunity 
came  to  enter  the  Tank  Corps,  he  wiUingly  accepted 
it.  On  July  27,  1918,  he  said  in  a  letter: — 

"We  are  using  the  little  whippet  tanks  with  a  crew  of  a  driver 
and  a  gunner,  the  sort  that  have  been  fighting  so  well  in  the  pres- 
ent Allied  offensive.  It  is  really  good  fun  to  drive  down  trenches 
and  up  the  rear  side,  over  stone  walls,  through  woods  and  shell 
holes,  for  a  poor  driver  will  give  his  man  in  the  turret  some  mighty 
hard  bumps  if  he  doesn't  know  how  to  ease  up  the  machine  when 
it  reaches  the  balancing  point  on  the  lip  of  a  trench  or  some  other 
approach  to  an  obstacle." 

Two  months  later,  on  September  27,  he  was  killed  in 
action.  Sergeant  Nichols  of  the  unit  describes  Dresser's 
death : — 

"The  night  of  the  25th  of  September  we  moved  up  to  the 
jump-off — Vauquois  Woods.  We  were  so  tired  that  we  lay  down 
and  dozed  and  dreamed  half  awake,  as  the  barrage  cracked  over- 
head and  threw  light  into  our  faces.  That  morning  progress  was 
hard,  but  it  was  made.  George  Dresser,  driving  for  Sergeant 
Jackson,  was  killed,  while  Jackson  was  seriously  wounded  and 
is  now  blind."

ROSWELL  HAYES  FULLER,  '13 

"  Your  spirit  passed,  unconquered,  unafraid. 
To  join  the  gallant  dead." 

Owen  Seaman. 

RoswELL  Hayes  Fuller  was  last  seen  on  the  after- 
noon of  September  29,  1918,  near  Verdun,  chasing  an 
enemy  plane  far  over  the  German  lines.  A  month  later 
news  came  through  the  American  Red  Cross  that  he 
had  lost  his  life  in  combat  with  the  machine  which  he 
had  pursued. 

Lieutenant  Fuller  was  an  experienced  and  daring 
aviator.  He  left  Yale  on  April  17,  1917,  to  enlist  in 
the  Naval  Aviation  Forces,  but  later  secured  his  dis- 
charge from  the  navy  and,  on  June  15,  entered  the 
Army  Aviation  Corps.  He  received  his  ground  school 
training  at  Champaign,  Illinois,  and  his  flying  instruc- 
tion at  the  Wilbur  Wright  Field,  Dayton,  Ohio;  and 
in  November,  1917,  he  was  commissioned  a  First  Lieu- 
tenant. For  a  time  he  was  attached  to  the  20th  Aero 
Squadron,  serving  first  as  Assistant  Supply  Officer 
and  later  as  Adjutant  of  the  4th  Provisional  Wing  at 
Garden  City,  New  York.  After  several  months  in 
England  and  Scotland,  he  was  ordered  to  Issoudun, 
France,  where  he  was  made  instructor  of  acrobatic 
flying.  At  the  end  of  six  months  in  this  duty,  he  was 
at  last  sent  to  the  front  and  had  many  narrow  escapes. 
His  most  notable  exploit  occurred  when  he  was  sent 
on  a  special  mission  seventy-five  miles  into  German 
territory,  and,  while  returning,  had  a  running  fight 
alone  against  seven  enemy  planes,  his  own  motor  being 
so  overheated  that  his  plane  would  not  rise.

Lieutenant  Fuller  was  born  December  16,  1894,  in 
Chicago,  Illinois.  He  attended  several  schools,  but 
prepared  for  college  at  Phillips  Academy,  where  he 
played  on  his  winning  class  football  team.  At  Yale  he 
was  a  member  of  the  Apollo  and  University  Banjo 
and  Mandolin  Clubs,  and  belonged  to  Alpha  Delta 
Phi.  His  roommate  in  college  was  Dumaresq  Spencer, 
the  details  of  whose  death  on  January  22,  1918,  have 
already  been  related  in  this  volume.

CHARLES  PHILIP  GOULD,  '16 

**What  matters  Death,  if  Freedom  be  not  dead? 
No  flags  are  fair  if  Freedom's  flag  be  furled. 
Who  fights  for  Freedom  goes  with  joyful  tread 
To  meet  the  fires  of  Hell  against  him  hurled, 
And  has  for  captain  Him  whose  thorn-wreathed  head 
Smiles  from  the  Cross  upon  a  conquered  world." 

Joyce  Kilmer. 

Charles  Philip  Gould  was  instantly  killed  on  the 
morning  of  September  29,  1918,  in  one  of  the  blood- 
iest battles  of  the  war.  The  107th  Infantry  (formerly 
the  famous  7th  Regiment  of  the  New  York  National 
Guard),  of  which  he  was  a  Corporal  in  Company  I, 
had  been  ordered  to  launch  an  attack  near  Cambrai 
on  one  of  the  most  strongly  defended  sectors  of  the 
Hindenburg  line.  Going  over  the  top  at  dawn,  they 
charged  with  bayonets  in  the  teeth  of  machine  gun  fire 
and  drove  the  Germans  back  with  an  audacity  which 
startled  even  the  veteran  Australians  who  were  co- 
operating with  them.  It  was  supreme  heroism,  but  the 
price  paid  was  frightful.  In  Corporal  Gould's  com- 
pany only  two  squads  survived  the  battle;  and  the 
casualties  near  where  he  fell  were  greater  than  any- 
where else  in  the  27th  Division. 

Gould  was  born  October  2,  1897,  in  Eureka,  Kan- 
sas, but  later  came  with  his  parents  to  Freeport,  New 
York.  He  entered  Phillips  Academy  in  1913,  grad- 
uating three  years  later.  In  Andover  he  was  one  of 
the  leaders  of  his  class.  He  won  his  "A"  in  track  ath- 
letics, and  took  two  gold  and  two  silver  medals  during 
his  Senior  year  for  victories  in  the  pole  vault.  At  his

PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

Commencement  he  was  awarded  the  Otis  prize,  given 
to  the  student  who  makes  the  greatest  all-round  im- 
provement during  his  course. 

Upon  leaving  school  Gould  entered  the  Corn  Ex- 
change Bank  in  New  York  City.  One  night  in  April, 
1917,  after  war  had  been  declared,  he  came  to  his 
father  and  said,  "Dad,  I  believe  I'll  enlist."  On  the 
following  day  he  joined  the  7th  Regiment  and  was 
sent  to  Camp  Wadsworth  for  training.  When  his  reg- 
iment sailed  from  Newport  News  for  overseas,  he  was 
in  the  hospital;  but  he  recovered  and  followed  them 
on  a  freighter  as  a  casual.  He  rejoined  them  in  Sep- 
tember, 1918,  just  in  time  to  take  part  in  the  exploit 
which  will  forever  be  associated  with  their  names. 

Charles  Gould  entered  the  army  in  no  spirit  of 
bravado.  He  knew  exactly  what  the  cost  might  be. 
His  favorite  Bible  verse  was,  "He  endured  hardness 
as  a  good  soldier  of  Jesus  Christ";  and  he  never  ut- 
tered a  complaint  of  army  discipline  or  hardship.  His 
father  writes,  "His  sacrifice  was  clearly  a  self -giving 
from  high  motive  and  with  tenacious  purpose."  As  a 
boy  he  had  dignity,  independence,  self-control;  and 
these  qualities,  more  fully  developed  in  the  stern 
necessities  of  war,  distinguished  him  in  the  manly 
struggles  into  which  he  was  thrust  prematurely.  One 
of  his  friends  put  it  beautifully  when  he  said,  "His  fine 
young  life  was  not  ended,  but  consummated,  in  a 
supreme  sacrifice  for  a  worthy  cause."

GEORGE  WILLIAM  MUELLER,  '08 

"  Duty  is  duty,  whereso'er 
'Tis  done,  and  no  man  can  do  more 
Than  in  the  testing-time,  prepare 
To  prove  him  conqueror. 
Or  here  or  there — no  matter  where, — 
Who  dies  for  Right  hath  done  his  share, 
And  shall  the  victor's  laurel  wear." 

John  Oxenham. 

George  William  Mueller  was  born  April  9,  1888, 
in  Meriden,  Connecticut.  He  spent  three  years  at 
Phillips  Academy,  and  his  mother  writes  that  they 
were  the  happiest  of  his  life.  He  continued  his  educa- 
tion in  the  Yale  Law  School,  where  he  was  on  the 
editorial  board  of  the  Yale  Law  Journal  and  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Phi  Delta  Phi  society.  After  graduation  in 
1911,  he  took  a  position  with  the  Travelers  Insurance 
Company  of  Hartford,  Connecticut,  but  eventually 
was  associated  in  business  with  his  uncle  in  Atlantic 
City,  New  Jersey.  In  the  summer  of  1918  he  enlisted 
in  the  United  States  Naval  Reserve  Force.  Unfor- 
tunately he  contracted  influenza,  which  was  followed 
by  pneumonia,  and  he  died  October  4,  1918,  at  Cape 
May,  New  Jersey.  He  was  to  have  been  married  in 
November  of  that  year.

GEORGE  MINOT  CAVIS,  '14 

"  Only  a  sweet  and  virtuous  soul, 
Like  season'd  timber,  never  gives; 
But  though  the  whole  world  turn  to  coal. 
Then  chiefly  lives." 

George  Herbert. 

George  Minot  Cavis  was  born  December  7,  1895,  in 
Bristol,  New  Hampshire.  After  an  early  education  in 
the  Bristol  schools,  he  was  sent  to  Phillips  Academy 
in  1911,  graduating  three  years  later.  He  completed 
three  years  at  Dartmouth  College,  but  then  enrolled 
in  the  Harvard  Reserve  Officers'  Training  School, 
completing  the  course  with  credit.  On  December  1, 
1917,  he  enlisted  in  the  Coast  Artillery  Corps  and  was 
ordered  to  Fort  Monroe  for  training.  In  April  of  the 
following  year  he  received  his  gold  shoulder  bar  and 
was  assigned  to  Fort  Andrews  in  Boston  Harbor,  as 
an  instructor  in  artillery  fire.  In  September  he  was 
promoted  to  be  First  Lieutenant  and  sent  to  Camp 
Devens  for  a  short  period  of  special  study  before 
going  overseas  with  the  33d  Regiment.  There  he  con- 
tracted a  severe  cold  in  a  rainstorm  and  went  home  on 
sick  leave.  In  Bristol  pneumonia  developed,  and  he 
died,  October  4,  1918. 

In  speaking  of  his  death  a  friend  wrote : — 

"Lieutenant  Cavis  was  a  young  man  of  great  personal  charnij 
fine  character,  noble  ambition,  and  a  splendid  type  of  Christian 
manhood."

WILLIAM  JOSEPH  HEVER,  '13 

"  Somewhere  in  France,  dust  unto  dust. 
You  wait  beyond  the  Inn  of  Life, 
Where  through  lone  nights  the  guarding  crust 
Shuts  out  the  clamor  of  the  strife." 

Grantland  Rice. 

William  Joseph  Hever  died  an  heroic  death.  In  the 
great  battle  of  the  Argonne  Forest  he  was  command- 
ing, as  First  Lieutenant,  the  F  Company  of  the  305th 
Infantry.  On  October  3,  1918,  when  his  regiment  was 
meeting  with  vigorous  resistance,  he  was  ordered  with 
his  company  to  take  a  strong  enemy  position,  and 
went  forward  at  the  head  of  his  men.  Heavy  machine 
gun  fire  opened  on  them  as  they  advanced,  but  they 
continued  on.  A  messenger  came  up,  calhng  for  Lieu- 
tenant Hever,  and,  as  he  turned,  a  bullet  struck  him 
in  the  shoulder.  He  fell,  but  a  group  of  volunteers 
quickly  carried  him  to  the  rear.  Two  days  later,  in 
spite  of  all  that  could  be  done  to  aid  him,  he  died. 

Lieutenant  Hever  was  born  January  1,  1891,  in 
New  York  City.  He  came  to  Phillips  Academy  in 
1911,  but  withdrew  in  1913  in  order  to  enter  Harvard, 
from  which  college  he  graduated  in  1917.  In  May  of 
that  year  he  entered  the  Plattsburg  Training  Camp, 
receiving  his  commission  as  Second  Lieutenant  on 
August  15, 1917.  On  December  28  of  that  year  he  was 
given  his  First  Lieutenancy,  and  in  April,  1918,  he 
sailed  for  France  with  the  305th  Infantry. 

One  of  his  comrades  in  the  regiment  described 
Lieutenant  Hever  as  "a  volunteer  soldier,  a  noble 
officer,  and  a  brave,  unselfish  man."  There  can  be  no 
greater  praise  from  the  lips  of  a  friend.

DONALD  CORPREW  DINES,  '17 

"  All  that  life  contains  of  torture,  toil,  and  treason. 
Shame,  dishonor,  death,  to  him  were  but  a  name. 
Here,  a  boy,  he  dwelt  through  all  the  singing  season. 
And  ere  the  day  of  sorrow  departed  as  he  came." 

Stevenson. 

DoNAU)  CoRPREw  DiNES  was  One  of  four  Andover 
men  who,  in  February,  1918,  while  Freshmen  at  Yale, 
enlisted  in  the  Marines.  The  other  three,  "Steve" 
Hord,  "Bob"  Warren,  and  "Harve"  Bradley,  all  saw 
plenty  of  action;  but  "Teck"  Dines  was  destined  to 
give  his  life.  All  four  were  sent  to  Paris  Island  for 
training,  and  went  overseas  in  the  late  spring.  In 
France  they  took  part  in  many  of  the  fiercest  battles 
of  the  war;  and  in  one  of  these,  on  October  5,  Dines 
was  instantly  killed. 

Dines  was  born  December  2, 1898,  in  Denver,  Colo- 
rado, and  was  the  youngest  Andover  man  to  meet 
death  in  action.  He  entered  Phillips  Academy  in  1914, 
and  remained  three  years.  He  was  one  of  the  acknowl- 
edged leaders  of  the  school:  manager  of  the  track 
team.  Secretary  and  Vice-President  of  his  class,  a 
member  of  the  Advisory  Board,  the  Student  Council, 
the  Cheering  Staff,  and  the  baseball  nine.  He  belonged 
to  the  A.  U.  V.  society.  "Teck"  was  a  sturdy,  manly 
chap,  who  had  no  pettiness  or  affectation.  He  was 
absolutely  without  conceit  or  self-consciousness,  and 
won  respect  through  his  masculine  characteristics.  It 
was  quite  natural  that  he  should  enlist  with  the  "Devil 
Dogs,"  and  equally  to  be  expected  that  he  would  be 
at  the  front  in  every  charge.

HERMAN  CHAMBERS  WILSON,  '17 

"  His  life  was  gentle,  and  the  elements 
So  mix'd  in  him  that  Nature  might  stand  up 
And  say  to  all  the  world,  'This  was  a  man !' " 

Shaks'pere. 

Herman  Chambers  Wilson  was  born  October  15, 
1890,  in  Asheville,  North  Carolina,  and  was  much 
older  than  the  other  members  of  his  class  at  Phillips 
Academy ;  but  he  never  lost  a  boy's  zest  in  living,  and 
he  knew  how  to  win  the  confidence  of  younger  men. 
In  Andover  his  skill  in  athletics  made  him  a  leader, 
but  he  would,  under  any  circumstances,  have  been  one 
whose  counsel  was  sought, — and  heeded.  He  played 
on  the  football  eleven  and  the  baseball  nine,  being 
especially  capable  as  a  pitcher;  but  he  also  held  other 
offices  in  which  popularity  was  more  an  asset  than 
muscular  power. 

In  the  spring  of  1918,  three  days  after  America 
declared  war,  Wilson  went  to  Boston  and  enlisted  in 
the  Marine  Corps.  He  was  sent  at  once  to  Paris 
Island,  where  his  Plattsburg  experience  made  him  a 
valuable  drillmaster;  and,  despite  his  longing  to  get 
overseas,  he  was  held  at  the  task  of  beating  the  manual 
into  the  heads  of  raw  recruits.  At  last,  when  the  third 
company  trained  under  him  had  gone  abroad,  he  made 
so  vigorous  a  protest  that  his  desire  was  granted,  and 
he  went  to  France  on  May  24,  1918,  with  the  5th 
Regiment  of  Marines.  He  was  promoted  to  be  a  Gun- 
nery Sergeant  and  took  an  active  part  in  several  of 
the  hot  engagements  of  the  summer  of  1918.  On  Octo- 
ber 6,  1918,  he  died  of  wounds  received  in  action.

ROBERT  HENRY  COLEMAN,  '12 

"Mother,  with  unbowed  head, 
Hear  thou  across  the  sea 
The  farewell  of  the  dead, — 

The  dead  who  died  for  thee. 
Greet  them  again  with  tender  words  and  grave. 
For,  saving  thee,  themselves  they  could  not  save." 

Sir  Henry  Newbolt. 

Robert  Henry  Coleman  had  a  charming  manner 
which  made  everyone  who  knew  him  his  friend.  By 
nature  somewhat  shy  and  retiring,  he  never  forced  his 
way  to  leadership ;  but  his  classmates  knew  his  ability 
and  respected  it.  No  man  of  his  time  at  Phillips  Acad- 
emy was  more  universally  liked. 

He  was  born  February  15,  1894,  in  Louisville, 
Kentucky.  After  a  short  period  at  Taft  School,  he 
came  to  Andover,  where  he  won  prizes  as  a  speaker 
and  was  a  member  of  the  P.  A.  E.  society.  At  Yale, 
where  he  completed  the  course  in  four  years,  he  was 
on  the  staff  of  the  News  and  earned  a  first  colloquy 
Junior  and  a  second  dispute  Senior  appointment. 
His  fraternity  was  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon.  After 
taking  his  degree  he  went  to  Harvard  Law  School, 
but  withdrew  in  1917  in  order  to  enlist  in  the  Aviation 
Corps.  He  completed  training  at  Kelly  Field,  Texas, 
and  at  Wilbur  Wright  Field,  Dajrton,  Ohio,  receiv- 
ing a  commission  as  Second  Lieutenant.  On  Septem- 
ber 15,  1918,  he  sailed  from  New  York  for  overseas, 
but  was  taken  ill  on  the  boat  with  influenza.  After  his 
arrival,  his  sickness  developed  into  pneumonia,  and 
he  died,  October  8,  at  the  Marine  Hospital,  Brest, 
France.

LUCIAN  PLATT,  '09 

"  He  .  .  .  who,  if  he  be  called  upon  to  face 
Some  awful  moment  to  which  Heaven  has  joined 
Great  issues,  good  or  bad  for  human  kind, 
Is  happy  as  a  Lover;  and  attired 
With  sudden  brightness,  like  a  Man  inspired." 

Wordsworth. 

LuciAN  Platt  was  born  January  28,  1892,  in  Balti- 
more, Maryland.  At  Phillips  Academy  he  was  espe- 
cially distinguished  for  high  scholarship,  winning 
membership  in  the  Alpha  Delta  Tau  society  and  tak- 
ing final  honors  in  solid  geometry  and  trigonometry. 
Later  at  Yale  he  was  chairman  of  the  Yale  Scientific 
Monthly,  class  historian,  and  a  member  of  the  Aure- 
lian  Honor  society,  the  Elizabethan  Club,  Sachem 
Hall,  and  Sigma  Xi.  In  1914,  after  two  years  of  grad- 
uate work  at  Yale,  he  received  the  degree  of  Engineer 
of  Mines.  After  eight  months  spent  with  the  New 
Jersey  Zinc  Company,  he  went  to  Alaska  in  the  em- 
ploy of  the  Kennecott  Copper  Corporation.  He  re- 
turned in  the  autumn  of  1918  and  was  at  once  commis- 
sioned a  Second  Lieutenant  in  the  Engineers.  While 
he  was  in  training  at  Camp  Humphreys,  Virginia,  he 
contracted  pneumonia  and  died,  October  9,  1918.

HERBERT  EDWARD  RANKIN,   05 

"  From  mine  and  desk  and  mart, 
Springing  to  face  a  task  undreamed  before, 
Our  men,  inspired  to  play  their  prentice  part, 
Like  soldiers  lessoned  in  the  school  of  war, 

True  to  their  breed  and  name 
Went  flawless  through  the  fierce  baptismal  flame." 

Owen  Seaman. 

Herbert  Edward  Rankin  was  born  April  15,  1887, 
in  Albany,  New  York,  and  spent  some  early  years  at 
Albany  Academy.  At  Phillips  Academy,  from  which 
he  graduated  in  1905,  he  was  on  the  honor  roll  in 
scholarship;  and,  as  a  member  of  the  class  of  1909  at 
Princeton  University,  he  took  high  rank.  For  two 
years  he  remained  in  Princeton  as  Instructor  in  Chem- 
istry; he  then  went  abroad  to  study  for  his  doctor's 
degree.  At  the  outbreak  of  the  Great  War  he  re- 
turned, attended  two  Plattsburg  camps  and  the 
Officers'  Training  School  at  Madison  Barracks,  and 
was  selected  as  one  of  fifty  to  attend  the  Coast  Artil- 
lery Camp  at  Fort  Monroe,  Virginia,  where  he  was 
commissioned  on  August  12,  1917,  as  a  Captain  in  the 
Coast  Artillery  Corps.  After  some  further  instruction 
at  Fort  Monroe  and  other  stations,  he  was  sent  over- 
seas in  October,  1918,  as  the  officer  in  charge  of  Bat- 
tery C,  5th  Anti-aircraft  Battalion.  On  the  voyage  he 
contracted  pneumonia  and  died,  October  10,  1918,  on 
board  the  British  transport  "Euripides."  He  was 
buried  at  sea  on  October  11. 

The  First  Sergeant  of  his  company  sent  to  his 
family  the  following  tribute : —

HONOR  BIOGRAPHIES 

"I  am  at  a  loss  to  express  in  mere  words  the  sorrow  of  the 
members  of  the  battery  for  the  loss  of  their  commander,  whose 
slightest  wish  was  their  law.  The  men  in  future  years  will  always 
regard  the  friendship  of  their  dear  dead  comrade  as  one  of  the 
most  beautiful  memories  of  the  past."

ELMER  HARRISON  SYKES,    11 

"  We  gave,  and  gave  our  all, 
In  gladness,  though  in  pain; 
Let  not  a  whisper  fall 

That  we  have  died  in  vain." 

Clinton  Scollard. 

Elmer  Harrison  Sykes  was  born  on  February  1, 
1889,  in  Rockville,  Connecticut.  After  an  early  edu- 
cation in  the  Rockville  schools,  he  came  to  Phillips 
Academy  in  the  autumn  of  1908,  remaining  one  year 
as  a  member  of  the  Lower  Middle  Class.  Upon  leaving 
Andover,  he  entered  business  with  the  Journal  Pub- 
lishing Company  of  his  native  town.  On  May  23, 
1918,  he  enlisted  as  a  private  in  the  Quartermaster 
Corps,  and  was  soon  assigned  to  Camp  Zachary  Tay- 
lor. There  he  was  taken  ill  and  died,  October  11, 1918, 
of  influenza.  His  death  adds  one  more  to  the  lamen- 
tably long  list  of  Andover  men  who  perished  "ere  their 
prime,"  with  their  boyish  hopes  unfulfilled.

PHILLIPS  GARRISON  MORRISON,  '12 

"  Not  in  the  wild  rush  of  the  fight 
God  saw  it  meet  for  you  to  die. 
Yet  he  who  keeps  his  armor  bright 
His  Lord  doth  magnify. 
You  answered  equally  the  call, 
And  he  who  gives  himself  gives  all. 

John  Oxenham. 

Phillips  Garrison  Morrison  made  a  record  in 
scholarship  at  Phillips  Academy  which  will  not  soon 
be  forgotten.  He  had  an  alert  rapier-like  mind,  backed 
by  a  capacity  for  continuous  study  rarely  found  in 
young  men.  Personally  he  was  rather  shy  and  unas- 
suming, and,  as  he  did  not  take  part  in  athletics,  he 
was  not  a  prominent  figure  in  school  life.  But  his 
classmates  respected  and  admired  him,  and  his  teach- 
ers found  in  him  those  qualities  of  mind  and  will  which 
are  certain  to  mean  success  in  the  years  which  follow 
college. 

Born  March  22,  1894,  in  Merrimac,  Massachusetts, 
Morrison  lived  with  his  parents  in  Andover  and  spent 
four  years  at  Phillips  Academy.  In  the  Massachusetts 
Institute  of  Technology  he  continued  his  brilliant 
scholastic  record,  devoting  himself  largely  to  electrical 
engineering.  He  graduated  in  1916. 

In  June,  1917,  he  was  commissioned  a  First  Lieu- 
tenant in  the  Ordnance  Corps  and  assigned  for  duty 
at  Frankford  Arsenal,  Philadelphia.  His  knowledge 
and  training  made  him  a  valuable  officer,  and  he  was 
promoted  to  a  Captaincy  in  January,  1918.  Later  he 
was  transferred  to  the  Aberdeen  Proving  Grounds  in 

127 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

Maryland.  There,  on  October  12,  1918,  he  died  of 
pneumonia. 

It  is  very  difficult  for  one  who  knew  Phillips  Morri- 
son to  refrain  from  eulogy  which  seems  extravagant. 
He  was  so  clean  in  his  life,  so  devoted  to  the  attain- 
ment of  high  ideals,  so  thoroughly  high-minded  and 
faithful,  that  the  ordinary  phrases  of  regret  sound 
like  mere  lip  service.  He  represented  in  his  character 
and  in  his  aims  the  best  traditions  of  a  school  which 
stands  for  upright,  unselfish  manhood.

"  And  you,  to  whom  it  was  not  given 
To  die  upon  the  foughten  field, — 
You,  you  full  equally  have  striven, 
For  you  your  lives  did  yield

John  Oxenham. 

Frank  Dana  Kendall  was  born  August  3,  1887,  at 
Winchester,  Massachusetts,  which  was  his  home  until 
his  death.  He  attended  the  Winchester  schools  and 
the  Mitchell  Military  Academy  before  coming  to  An- 
dover  in  1904.  After  leaving  Phillips  Academy  in 
1905,  he  became  interested  in  the  lumber  business  in 
Winchester  and  was  a  leading  citizen  of  the  town.  He 
enlisted  in  December,  1917,  took  the  course  in  the 
Army  Aviation  Ground  School  at  the  Massachusetts 
Institute  of  Technology,  and  was  sent  on  September 
5,  1918,  to  the  flying  field  at  Mineola,  Long  Island, 
where  he  was  attached  to  the  357th  Aero  Squadron. 
A  few  weeks  later  he  was  ordered  on  detached  service 
to  Lufberry  Field,  where  he  contracted  pneumonia. 
He  died  in  a  Red  Cross  hospital  at  Garden  City  on 
October  14,  after  an  illness  of  ten  days. 

Mr.  Kendall's  life  had  been  much  saddened  by  the 
long  illness  and  death  of  his  wife  and  child  only  two 
years  before.  It  was  his  ambition  to  go  overseas  and 
it  was  difficult  for  him  to  bear  the  long  wait  on  this 
side  of  the  water;  but  it  was  not  to  be  his  fortune  to 
give  his  life  in  action.  Those  who  knew  him,  however, 
realize  that  manhood  such  as  his  is  not  content  with 
sacrificing  little.  He  died  in  helping  men  to  be  free.

KENNETH  RAND,  '10 

Vale,  Kenneth  Rand 

"  As  school-boys,  we  would  sit  alone  o'  nights 
Reading  in  Balzac,  Omar,  Stevenson, 
Or  throw  the  books  aside,  and,  one  by  one. 

Climb  over  shining  schemes  to  dizzy  heights. 

In  college,  sometimes,  we  would  slip  away 
From  noisy  classroom  to  some  quiet  inn 
Where  we  could  pledge  in  tankards  cool  and  thin 
g»  The  years  we  saw  as  gold  scenes  in  a  play.  .  .  . 

Oh,  Kenneth,  how  could  dreams  like  ours  be  false? 
Our  Avalons,  our  bright  Hesperides, 
Our  Inds,  our  islands  washed  by  tropic  seas 

All  faded  .  .  .  faded  .  .  .  echoes  of  a  walse.  .  .  . 

You  go  (O  world  he  reaches,  hold  him  dear!) ; 

I  stay,  to  tend  the  embers  falling  here." 

Harold  Crawford  Stearns,  '10. 

Kenneth  Rand,  only  twenty-seven  years  old  at  the 
time  of  his  death,  had  already  shown  himself  a  true 
poet.  His  three  published  volumes,  A  Dirge  of 
the  Sea  Children,  The  Rainbow  Chaser,  and  The 
Dreamer,  show  something  more  than  cleverness  or 
smart  versatility.  He  had  made  a  serious  study  of 
metrics  and  knew  thoroughly  the  technique  of  his  art ; 
but  he  had  also  a  genuine  lyrical  gift. 

Rand  was  born  May  8,  1891,  in  Minneapolis, 
Minnesota.  Much  of  his  early  life  was  spent  in  travel, 
especially  in  Europe.  During  his  three  years  at  Phil- 
lips Academy,  he  played  on  the  Mandolin  Club  and 
wrote  for  the  Mirror,  but  he  was  not  well  known  and 
he  devoted  more  time  to  thinking  than  is  thought  to 
be  quite  normal  by  the  average  boy.  At  Yale  he  be- 
came chairman  of  the  Lit  Board  and  literary  editor  of 
the  Courant,  and  he  was  the  class  poet.

HONOR  BIOGRAPHIES 

After  graduating  from  Yale  in  1914,  Rand  gave 
his  attention  chiefly  to  writing.  When  war  broke  out, 
however,  his  one  desire  was  to  get  into  active  service. 
He  volunteered  in  every  branch,  both  army  and  navy, 
only  to  be  rejected  because  of  defective  eyesight. 
Finally  he  practically  forced  his  way  into  the  Quar- 
termaster Corps,  and  was  recommended  for  the 
Officers'  Training  School  at  Camp  Johnston.  Before 
he  could  leave  Washington,  however,  he  was  sent  to 
the  Walter  Reed  Hospital  with  influenza;  there,  on 
October  15,  1918,  he  died. 

The  following  poem,  found  in  his  uniform,  is  his 
finest,  strongest  work.  It  is  the  voice  of  an  American 
hero : — 

"Limited  Service  Only" 

"  I  am  not  one  of  those  the  gods'  decision 
Has  chosen  for  that  highest  gift  of  all — 
The  sacrifice,  the  splendor,  and  the  vision — 
To  fight,  and  nobly  fall: 

"  And  yet  I  know — ^what  though  it  be  but  dreaming ! 
Should  the  day  hang  on  some  last  desperate  hope, 
I — I — could  lead  one  reckless  column  streaming 
Down  some  shell-tortured  slope. 

"  To  face  the  shadow-hell  of  Death's  own  Valley 
With  eyes  unclouded  and  unlowered  head — 
Know,  for  an  instant,  one  ecstatic  rally 
And  then  be  cleanly  dead."

JOHN  CASE  PHELPS,  '02 

"  Pity  the  slain?  O  rather  pity  those 
In  whom  the  unnourished  soul  from  day  to  day 
Weaker  and  ever  weaker  grows. 
Dying  at  last,  imprisoned  in  its  clay." 

Dudley  Poore,  '13. 

John  Case  Phelps,  although  considerably  over  the 
original  draft  age,  was  one  of  the  first  to  volunteer  his 
services  to  his  country.  In  1916  he  attended  the  Platts- 
burg  Training  Camp,  and  later  went  to  the  Officers' 
Training  School  at  Madison  Barracks,  where,  in  Sep- 
tember, 1917,  he  was  commissioned  a  Captain.  He  was 
assigned  for  duty  at  Camp  Dix,  and  finally  went  over- 
seas in  command  of  Company  A,  309th  Infantry.  On 
October  18  he  was  killed  in  action  near  Grand  Pre. 

Captain  Phelps  was  born  June  29,  1883,  in  Bing- 
hamton,  New  York.  At  Phillips  Academy  he  grad- 
uated in  1902,  being  Treasurer  of  his  class.  At  Yale, 
from  which  he  graduated  in  1906,  he  played  on  the 
Apollo  Banjo  Club  and  was  a  member  of  the  Univer- 
sity Club  and  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon.  After  one  year 
at  Harvard  Law  School  and  a  similar  period  at  New 
York  School,  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar,  and  prac- 
ticed in  the  office  of  Hinman,  Howard,  and  Kattell 
in  his  native  city.  In  1915  he  opened  an  office  of  his 
own  in  Binghamton,  and  conducted  there  an  inde- 
pendent practice  until  his  enlistment  in  the  army.

HAROLD  LUDINGTON  HEMINGWAY,  '10 

"Then  haU  to  all   who   gave  us 
Their  might  of  arm  and  soul, 
Hot  and  athirst  to  save  us, 
,  To  heal,  and  keep  us  whole." 

WilHam  Watson. 

Harold  Ludington  Hemingway  died  October  21, 
1918,  in  France,  of  wounds  received  in  action  near 
Verdun  on  the  preceding  day.  He  had  attended  the 
Officers'  Training  Camp  at  Plattsburg  in  1917,  and 
had,  on  August  15,  won  his  commission  as  Second 
Lieutenant.  His  first  permanent  assignment  was  with 
Company  K,  104th  Infantry,  26th  Division,  stationed 
at  Camp  Bartlett,  Westfield,  Massachusetts.  On  Oc- 
tober 3  he  sailed  with  his  regiment  for  France,  and, 
after  February  5,  1918,  was  almost  continuously  in 
action,  taking  part  in  some  of  the  most  glorious  ex- 
ploits of  our  army  at  Chateau-Thierry  and  St.  Mihiel. 
On  July  26  he  was  promoted  to  be  First  Lieutenant 
and  made  commanding  officer  of  Company  F.  He  was 
in  command  of  this  company  when  he  died.  His  pro- 
motion to  a  Captaincy  arrived  on  November  3,  after 
his  death.  He  was  also  recommended  for  the  Distin- 
guished Service  Cross. 

Born  May  25,  1893,  in  New  Haven,  Connecticut, 
Hemingway  went  first  to  Hopkins  Grammar  School 
and  later  to  Phillips  Academy,  where  he  graduated  in 
1910.  During  his  college  days  at  Yale  he  was  a  mem- 
ber of  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon  and  Wolf's  Head,  and 
in  his  Senior  year  received  an  oration  appointment. 

133 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

After  graduating  in  1914,  he  was  connected  for  a  time 
with  the  New  Haven  Savings  Bank,  but  in  1915  he 
accepted  a  position  with  Estabrook  and  Company  of 
Boston.  When  he  entered  service,  he  was  at  the  head 
of  their  Connecticut  office. 

At  a  memorial  gathering  held  in  the  Center  Church 
at  New  Haven,  Dr.  Newman  Smyth  spoke  most  elo- 
quently in  tribute  to  the  young  officer.  On  Lieutenant 
Hemingway  the  burden  of  battle  had  fallen  more 
heavily  than  on  most  men.  Through  the  heat  of  many 
a  long  day  he  had  fought,  and  he  was  taken  before  the 
vision  of  peace  was  more  than  a  fleeting  mirage.  But 
it  was  the  heroism  of  such  Americans  as  he  in  those 
last  bloody  hours  of  conflict  that  made  it  certain  that 
the  world  would  be  at  last  redeemed  and  made  safe  for 
even  the  smallest  nation.

ROWLAND  WESTCOTT  WATERBURY,  '12 

"The  earth  is  sacred  where  they  fell, — 
Forever  on  it  lies  the  spell 
Of  hero  deeds  in  Freedom's  cause, 
And  men  unborn  shall  come  and  pause 
To  say  a  prayer,  or  bow  the  head. 
So  leave  these  graves  to  hold  their  dead." 

Rowland  Westcott  Waterbury  was  born  July  21, 
1891,  in  Saratoga  Springs,  New  York.  He  entered 
Phillips  Academy  on  February  16,  1911,  remaining 
until  June,  as  a  member  of  the  class  of  1912.  Enlisting 
on  September  1,  1917,  as  a  private  in  Company  L, 
107th  Infantry,  he  went  overseas  with  the  famous  27th 
Division.  He  saw  action  in  many  sharp  engagements 
in  France,  and  was  promoted,  in  August,  1918,  to  be 
Corporal.  On  the  morning  of  September  29  he  went 
with  his  company  in  an  attack  on  the  Hindenburg  line, 
and  was  struck  in  the  leg  by  a  bullet.  His  broken  bone 
was  set  by  an  Australian  doctor,  but  he  was  left  in  a 
trench  throughout  a  long  night  of  rain.  Blood  poison- 
ing set  in,  and  all  efforts  to  save  him  were  in  vain.  He 
died  on  October  26,  1918,  at  General  Hospital  Num- 
ber 9,  Rouen,  France.

HOBART  EVANS  EARLY,  '21 

"  The  war  is  like  the  Judgment  Day — 
All  sham,  all  pretext  torn  away; 
And  swift  the  searching  hours  reveal 
Hearts  good  as  gold,  souls  true  as  steel." 

HoBART  Evans  Early  was  one  of  Andover's  young- 
est heroes.  Born  August  13, 1898,  in  Medford,  Massa- 
chusetts, he  came  to  Phillips  Academy  in  September, 
1917,  and  during  that  school  year  showed  himself 
capable  of  leadership.  In  the  autumn  of  1918  he  with- 
drew from  Andover  in  order  to  join  the  Marines,  and 
was  sent  to  Paris  Island,  South  Carolina.  He  had 
hardly  begun  his  training  when  he  was  stricken  by 
influenza,  which  turned  into  pneumonia;  he  died  No- 
vember 1,  1918. 

"Hobe"  Early's  premature  death  came  as  a  tragic 
blow  to  his  fellows  on  the  Hill.  Going  as  he  did  di- 
rectly from  their  midst  into  the  fighting  force,  he  was 
to  them  a  very  live  personality,  and,  when  the  news  of 
his  loss  came,  there  were  tears  in  many  eyes.  His 
school  friend,  George  Gibson,  wrote  of  Early's  last 
hours : — 

"He  talked  of  Andover  a  lot,  and  of  the  boys.  Almost  the  last 
thing  he  said  before  going  into  a  delirious  state  was  that  he  was 
fighting  as  hard  as  he  could  and  was  doing  his  best  and  that  he 
had  tried  to  do  his  duty  as  best  he  could.  ...  I  surely  did  prize 
his  acquaintance.  He  was  a  good  clean-cut  God-fearing  man,  and 
I'm  sure  he  went  with  a  clean  conscience." 


136 


WALTER  EMMET  DONOHUE,  '13 

"  They  put  aside  the  velvet  for  the  steel, 
Left  love,  and  hope,  and  ease  at  home;  and  sped 
To  the  wilderness  of  war  and  every  dread. 
Their  blood  is  mortar  for  the  commonweal; 
Their  deeds  its  decoration  and  its  boast." 

Robert  Hughes. 

Walter  Emmet  Donohue  of  New  York  City  spent 
one  year  at  Phillips  Academy,  in  1910-11,  as  a  mem- 
ber of  the  class  of  1913,  and  lived  at  Williams  Hall. 
He  afterwards  attended  Williston  Seminary,  and 
graduated  at  Hamilton  College  in  the  class  of  1917. 
In  the  spring  of  that  year  he  enrolled  at  the  Officers' 
Training  School  at  Madison  Barracks  in  New  York 
State,  and  was  commissioned  on  August  17  as  a  Sec- 
ond Lieutenant.  At  Camp  Dix,  to  which  he  was  soon 
assigned,  he  was  promoted,  on  December  1,  1917,  to 
be  First  Lieutenant  in  the  310th  Infantry,  78th  Divi- 
sion. Going  overseas  in  the  spring  of  1918,  he  was 
made  a  Captain  on  October  28,  only  to  fall  three  days 
later,  on  November  1,  fatally  wounded  in  the  battle  of 
the  Argonne  Forest.  He  is  buried  in  the  American 
Cemetery  at  Cheppy-sur-Meuse,  Meuse,  France.

ERROL  DWIGHT  MARSH,    10 

"The  better  part  of  thee  is  with  us  still; 

Thy  soul  its  hampering  clay  aside  hath  thrown, 
And  only  freer  wrestles  with  the  111." 

Errol  Dwight  Marsh  was  at  Phillips  Academy  for 
only  a  brief  period,  but  the  school  is  proud  to  have 
his  name  upon  her  rolls.  Born  in  Ware,  Massachu- 
setts, July  19,  1889,  he  came  to  Andover  from  schools 
in  Westboro,  but  soon  transferred  to  Worcester 
Academy.  After  three  years  at  Dartmouth  College, 
he  withdrew  in  order  to  enter  business  with  his  father 
in  Westboro.  He  received  his  commission  as  Second 
Lieutenant  at  Plattsburg,  and  was  assigned  to  the 
302d  Infantry,  in  the  76th  Division,  which  went  over- 
seas in  July,  1918.  He  was  later  ordered  for  duty  with 
the  319th  Infantry,  80th  Division,  and  sent  direct  to 
the  front.  There,  on  November  2,  1918,  he  was  killed 
in  action. 


138 


HARRY  TAYLOR  MOORE,  '14 

"  He  gave  his  merry  youth  away 
For  Country  and  for  God." 

Harry  Taylor  Moore  was  born  March  12,  1894,  in 
New  Rochelle,  New  York.  He  attended  schools  in 
Middletown,  New  York,  and  was  for  nearly  two  years 
a  student  in  Phillips  Academy.  At  the  Plattsburg 
Officers'  Training  Camp  in  1917  he  was  commissioned 
a  Second  Lieutenant,  and  assigned  to  duty  at  Camp 
Upton,  where  he  held  several  administrative  offices. 
He  was  eventually  promoted  to  be  First  Lieutenant 
and  made  Assistant  Adjutant  in  the  camp.  On  No- 
vember 30,  1918,  after  an  illness  of  ten  days  with  in- 
fluenza and  pneumonia,  he  died. 

His  friend,  Lieutenant  Edmund  L.  Pearson,  wrote 
most  feelingly  of  the  affection  with  which  Lieutenant 
Moore  was  regarded  at  Camp  Upton; — 

"It  was  not  his  good  fortune  to  go  to  France,  and  those  who 
knew  his  fine  keen  spirit  will  appreciate  the  disappointment  which 
he  felt.  He  was  of  the  very  stuff  of  those  men  whose  names  we 
are  daily  reading  in  the  lists  of  soldiers  cited  for  gallantry  in 
action.  .  .  .  His  associates  and  friends  were  surprised  to  learn 
of  his  youthfulness, — his  poise  and  intellectual  alertness  were 
those  of  a  man  a  decade  older.  He  had  that  rare  form  of  moral 
courage  which  enables  a  man  to  grasp  and  solve  a  new  problem, 
to  deal  with  a  new  situation.  ,  .  .  Our  eyes  are  blinded  and  our 
faith  tried  to  the  utmost  by  this  loss."

JOHN  HARLAND  MacCREADIE,  '14 

"  You,  beyond  the  reach  of  time  and  weather, 
Of  youth  in  death  forever  keep  the  knowledge. 
We  hoard  our  youth,  we  hoard  our  youth,  and  fear  it, 
But  you,  who  freely  gave  what  we  have  hoarded. 
Are  with  the  final  goal  of  youth  rewarded. 
The  road  to  travel  and  the  traveler's  spirit." 

John  Harland  MacCreadie  was  born  April  24, 
1893,  in  Lawrence,  Massachusetts.  During  his  two 
years  at  Phillips  Academy  he  was  President  of  the 
Philomathean  society  and  led  its  debating  team.  In 
1915  he  entered  Princeton,  where  he  took  honors  in 
his  studies.  At  the  outbreak  of  our  war  he  enlisted  in 
the  Naval  Reserves  at  Brooklyn  Naval  Yard,  and  was 
assigned  to  the  Chemical  Laboratory,  where  he  did 
important  special  work  on  fuel  and  food  for  the  navy. 
In  November,  1918,  he  contracted  influenza  and  died 
December  7.  In  August  he  had  passed  successfully  an 
examination  for  a  commission,  which  was  pending  at 
the  time  of  his  death. 

MacCreadie  was  one  of  the  most  earnest  and  faith- 
ful of  students,  and  could  be  relied  upon  to  carry  out 
a  task  to  its  conclusion.  This  same  spirit  he  carried 
into  his  naval  work,  and  his  overwork  so  weakened 
him  that  he  was  unable  to  resist  disease.

STEWART  FLAGG,  '93 

"  Thou  hast  been 
As  one,  in  suflFering  all,  that  suffers  nothing; 
A  man  that  fortune's  buffets  and  rewards 
Hast  ta'en  with  equal  thanks." 

Shakspere. 

Stewart  Flagg  was  the  oldest  Andover  man  to  give 
his  hfe  in  the  service  of  his  country.  When  the  Great 
War  broke  out,  he  was  Hving  in  France,  and  at  once 
volunteered  for  hospital  work,  in  which  he  was  en- 
gaged for  nearly  nine  months.  He  then  joined  the 
Harjes  Ambulance  Formation,  as  a  member  of  which 
he  served  through  the  entire  Verdun  campaign  of 
1916.  In  March  of  that  year  he  volunteered  for  the 
duration  of  the  war  and  was  attached  to  the  66th 
Chasseurs  Division  of  the  French  Army.  During  the 
next  few  months  he  worked  under  the  most  arduous 
conditions  in  the  Vosges  Mountains  and  in  the  Cham- 
pagne sector.  Four  times  his  ambulance  was  destroyed 
by  shell  fire,  and  he  was  three  times  cited,  receiving 
both  the  Croix  de  Guerre  and  the  even  more  coveted 
Fourragere,  He  was  the  first  man  in  the  American 
Army  to  wear  this  Fourragere  emblem  on  the 
American  uniform.  Mr.  Flagg's  first  citation  reads 
as  follows: — 

"Ambulance  driver,  Stewart  Flagg, — an  American  volunteer 
for  the  duration  of  the  war ;  a  man  of  duty,  showing  the  greatest 
calmness  and  devotion  under  all  circumstances,  without  fear,  abso- 
lutely disdaining  all  dangers, — has  particularly  distinguished 
himself  during  the  attacks  of  March  and  December,  1916,  in  a 
very  exposed  section,  by  taking  away  the  wounded  under  an 
intense  bombardment." 

141 


HONOR  BIOGRAPHIES 

When  the  United  States  entered  the  war,  the 
Harjes  Formation  was  disbanded  and  Flagg  enlisted 
as  a  private  in  the  American  Army;  but,  because  of 
his  previous  service  with  the  French  troops,  he  was 
assigned  to  continue  his  duties  with  the  famous  Alpine 
regiment.  In  the  great  offensive  of  July,  1917,  he  was 
badly  injured,  and  had  to  undergo  an  operation,  from 
which  he  had  apparently  recovered.  On  Friday,  De- 
cember 10,  1918,  however,  he  died  very  suddenly. 

Mr.  Flagg  was  also  a  veteran  of  the  Spanish- 
American  War,  having  served  as  a  gun  pointer  on  the 
after  port  gun  of  the  U.  S.  S.  "Yankee"  in  the  battle 
of  Santiago  and  other  engagements.  He  had  an  ad- 
venturous spirit  which  led  him  always  into  the  thick 
of  action  in  any  struggle  for  the  right.

TRUMAN  DUNHAM  DYER,  '14 

"  One  thing  we  know,  that  love  so  greatly  spent 
Dies  not  when  lovers  die;  from  hand  to  hand 
We  pass  the  torch  and  perish — well  content, 
If  in  dark  years  to  come  our  countrymen 
Feel  the  divine  flame  leap  in  them  again, 
And  so  remember  us  and  understand." 

Truman  Dunham  Dyer  was  born  January  26, 1896, 
in  Warren,  Ohio.  While  he  was  in  Phillips  Academy, 
he  played  on  the  football  squad,  and  he  was  a  member 
of  the  A.  U.  V.  society.  He  continued  his  education  at 
Sheffield  Scientific  School,  where  he  was  elected  to 
Franklin  Hall.  In  the  spring  of  1917  he  was  a  Cor- 
poral in  the  Yale  Reserve  Officers'  Training  Corps. 
Entering  the  service  in  August,  1918,  at  Columbus 
Barracks,  Columbus,  Ohio,  he  was  shortly  transferred 
to  Camp  Sheridan,  Montgomery,  Alabama,  where 
he  .was  promoted  to  be  a  Corporal.  He  passed  exami- 
nations for  the  Central  Officers'  Training  School  at 
Atlanta,  Georgia,  but  the  armistice  was  signed  just 
two  days  before  his  order  to  report  there  arrived.  A 
few  weeks  later  Corporal  Dyer  contracted  influenza, 
which  developed  into  pneumonia;  he  died,  December 
11, 1918,  in  the  Base  Hospital  at  Camp  Sheridan.  His 
infant  son,  Truman  Dunham  Dyer,  Jr.,  was  born  only 
ten  days  before,  and  his  father,  who  was  home  on  his 
first  and  only  furlough,  was  able  to  hold  him  in  his 
arms  and  give  him  his  blessing.

HENRY  MARTIN  YOUNG,  '17 

"  Fear  not  that  ye  have  died  for  naught. 
The  torch  ye  threw  to  us  we  caught. 
Ten  million  hands  will  hold  it  high 
And  Freedom's  light  will  never  die." 

Henry  Martin  Young  was  born  March  21,  1894,  in 
New  York  City.  He  spent  one  year  at  Phillips  Acad- 
emy in  the  class  of  1917,  but  left  with  his  course  in- 
complete in  order  to  enter  Amherst.  In  his  Freshman 
year  at  that  college  he  was  captain  of  his  class  cross- 
country team;  but  he  withdrew  in  May,  1917,  in  order 
to  enter  the  Plattsburg  Training  Camp.  On  June  14 
he  was  recommended  for  transfer  to  the  Air  Service 
and  went  to  the  Ground  School  at  Cornell.  After 
graduating  there,  he  was  assigned  successively  to 
Gerster  Field,  Camp  Pike,  and  Taliaferro  Field.  On 
May  11,  1918,  he  was  commissioned  as  a  Second  Lieu- 
tenant, and  served  as  Gunnery  Pilot  and  as  Instructor 
in  Aerial  Gunnery  and  Combat.  He  died  on  Decem- 
ber 14,  1918,  of  pneumonia,  following  influenza. 

His  (jommanding  officer.  Major  T.  C.  McCaulay, 
wrote  to  Lieutenant  Young's  guardian  as  follows: — 

"It  becomes  my  duty  and  is  a  sacred  privilege  to  bear  witness 
to  the  high  esteem  in  which  Lieutenant  Young  was  held  by  his 
group  of  friends  and  associates,  and  indeed  by  all  who  knew  him 
at  this  field.  He  possessed  and  displayed  those  qualities  of  dis- 
ciplined courage  that  distinguish  the  heroic  soldier,  and  he  held 
aloft  the  glorious  traditions  of  our  country.  He  leaves  an  enviable 
record  that  will  be  as  inspiring  to  those  under  whom  and  with 
whom  he  served  as  sustaining  to  his  relatives  and  friends."

VIVION  KEMPER  MOUSER,  '15 

"  The  joy  of  young  adventurous  ways. 

Of  keen  and  undimmed  sight, 
The  eager  tramp  through  sunny  days. 

The  dreamless  sleep  of  night. 
The  happy  hours  that  come  and  go 

In  youth's  untiring  quest. 
They  gave,  because  they  willed  it  so. 

With  some  light-hearted  jest." 

ViviON  Kemper  Mouser  had  a  long  and  varied  mili- 
tary experience.  Born  in  Big  Stone  Gap,  Virginia, 
April  20,  1895,  he  received  his  early  education  at 
Randolph-Macon  Academy,  but  later  attended  Phil- 
lips Academy  and  Kentucky  Military  Institute,  going 
from  there  to  the  University  of  Michigan.  He  was  in 
college  at  the  time  of  the  American  Declaration  of 
War,  and  immediately  volunteered  for  the  first  Offi- 
cers' Training  Camp  at  Fort  Sheridan,  Illinois.  Be- 
fore this  course  was  completed,  he  secured  a  transfer 
to  the  Field  Artillery  School  at  Camp  Lee.  At  the 
close  of  his  work  there,  he  passed  an  examination  for 
the  Artillery  School  at  Saumur,  France,  and  sailed 
overseas,  May  23,  1918. 

After  spending  three  months  at  Saumur  and  receiv- 
ing his  commission  as  Second  Lieutenant,  he  was 
ordered  to  duty  at  the  front  and  was  in  action  through- 
out the  great  St.  Mihiel  drive.  As  an  officer  in  the 
115th  Field  Artillery,  he  was  in  the  midst  of  the  battle 
of  the  Argonne  Forest,  where  he  was  caught  in  a  gas 
attack  and  suffered  severely.  He  was  given  a  leave  of 
absence,  which  he  spent  at  Nice  and  Monte  Carlo,  and 
then  returned  to  his  battery;  but  his  lungs  were  still 
affected  and  he  contracted  pneumonia,  from  which  he 
died,  January  7,  1919.

"  He  in  the  soul's  eternal  cause 
Went  forth  as  martyrs  must — 
The  kings  who  make  the  spirit  laws 
And  rule  us  from  the  dust." 

John  Loring  Baker  of  Washington,  D.  C,  entered 
Phillips  Academy  in  the  autumn  of  1906,  as  a  member 
of  the  class  of  1909,  but  remained  only  somewhat  less 
than  a  year.  Early  in  the  Great  War  he  was  commis- 
sioned as  First  Lieutenant,  Ordnance  Officers'  Re- 
serve Corps.  His  principal  station  was  with  the  Cana- 
dian Bridge  Company  at  Walkerville,  Ontario,  where 
he  was  assigned  as  Inspector  of  Ordnance.  There,  on 
February  13, 1919,  he  died  of  pneumonia.

EDWARD  RANKIN  BRAINERD,  '10 

"  A  soldier,  yet  less  soldier  than  a  man, 
Who  gave  to  justice  what  a  soldier  can, — 
The  courage  of  his  arm,  a  patient  heart. 
And  the  fire-soul  that  flamed  when  wrong  began." 
George  Edgar  Montgomery. 

Edward  Rankin  Brainerd  of  Los  Angeles  came  to 
Phillips  Academy  in  September,  1906,  and  remained 
three  years.  While  in  school,  he  was  a  member  of  the 
Phi  Lambda  Sigma  society  and  made  a  wide  circle  of 
friends.  He  later  graduated  from  the  University  of 
California  as  Bachelor  of  Science,  and  spent  one  year 
at  Harvard  Law  School,  at  the  close  of  which  he  set- 
tled down  to  the  practice  of  law  with  the  firm  of  Flint 
and  Jutten  in  his  native  city. 

On  May  20,  1918,  he  was  inducted  into  military 
service  and  assigned  to  the  21st  Infantry.  After  a 
course  at  the  Field  Artillery  School  at  Camp  Zachary 
Taylor,  Kentucky,  he  was  commissioned  on  October 
31  as  a  Second  Lieutenant  and  assigned  as  Instructor 
in  Riding  and  Driving  in  the  same  camp.  Although, 
after  the  armistice,  he  was  eligible  for  discharge,  he 
remained,  at  the  request  of  a  superior  officer,  and  was 
stationed  at  the  camp  Convalescent  Center  in  charge 
of  soldiers  returned  from  overseas.  There  he  con- 
tracted influenza,  followed  by  pneumonia,  and  died, 
February  16,  1919.  He  was  buried  in  Los  Angeles  on 
February  21,  with  full  military  honors. 

Although  Lieutenant  Brainerd  was  only  twenty- 
nine  years  old  at  the  time  of  his  death,  he  had  already 
made  his  mark  as  a  man  of  force  and  influence  in  his 
community.  Young  though  he  was,  he  had  not  lived  in 
vain ;  and  he  gave  his  life  in  the  spirit  of  self-sacrifice.

GEORGE  WEBSTER  OTIS,    14 

"Death  comes  with  a  crawl  or  it  comes  with  a  pounce, 
And  whether  it's  slow  or  spry. 
It  isn't  the  fact  that  you're  dead  that  counts, 
It's  only  how  did  you  die." 

George  Webster  Otis  was  born  June  28,  1895,  in 
Chicago.  He  spent  two  years  at  Phillips  Academy, 
leaving  at  the  close  of  the  school  year  in  1913.  He  was 
in  his  Sophomore  year  at  Yale  when  America  de- 
clared war ;  and  in  the  following  June  he  enlisted  with 
the  17th  United  States  Engineers  (railway),  which 
sailed  for  France  on  August  1,  1917,  being  one  of  the 
earliest  regiments  to  go  overseas.  In  August,  1918,  he 
was  recommended  for  a  commission  in  the  heavy  artil- 
lery and,  when  the  armistice  was  signed,  was  at  the 
Saumur  Artillery  School.  He  graduated  on  December 
21,  1918.  Shortly  afterward  he  was  stricken  with 
appendicitis,  and  the  operation  which  followed  left 
him  in  a  weakened  condition.  He  contracted  pneu- 
monia and  died,  February  18,  in  the  Base  Hospital, 
Savenay,  France.  His  commission  as  Second  Lieu- 
tenant was  on  its  way  but  had  not  reached  him,  and  it 
was  later  sent  to  his  parents. 

Brigadier-General  Charles  G.  Dawes,  his  com- 
manding general,  cabled  Otis's  father  as  follows : — 

"Webster  was  conscious  until  the  end  and  died  without  pain. 
He  had  high  qualities  of  manhood.  His  generous  and  lovable  dis- 
position and  fine  conduct  as  a  soldier  made  him  inexpressibly  dear 
to  his  associates."

MEN  CITED  OR  DECORATED  FOR 
EXTRAORDINARY  BRAVERY 

"  He  speaks  not  well  who  doth  his  time  deplore, 
Naming  it  new  and  little  and  obscure, 
Ignoble  and  unfit  for  lofty  deeds. 
All  times  were  modern  in  the  time  of  them, 
And  this  no  more  than  others.  Do  thy  part 
Here  in  the  living  day,  as  did  the  great 
Who  made  old  days  immortal!  So  shall  men. 
Gazing  long  back  to  this  far-looming  hour, 
Say:  *Then  the  time  when  men  were  truly  men!'" 

Richard  Watson  Oilder. 

The  following  list  is  intended  to  include  those 
Andover  men  who,  for  exceptional  courage  or  intre- 
pidity in  action,  were  awarded  special  honors  by  our 
own  country  or  any  of  the  various  Allied  nations. 
Doubtless  some  names  of  importance  are  unavoidably 
omitted;  but  every  effort  has  been  made  to  print  a 
complete  and  accurate  record.  As  it  stands,  the  num- 
ber of  those  thus  distinguished  is  sufficiently  impres- 
sive. The  names  are  arranged  by  classes,  ranging  from 
1892  to  1920,  and  every  one  is  mentioned  who  has 
been  reported  at  any  time  to  the  office  of  Phillips 
Academy.

1892 
John  Campbell  Greenway,  whose  dramatic  career 
in  the  Spanish  War  as  a  Lieutenant  in  Colonel  Roose- 
velt's "Rough  Riders"  is  well  known  to  every  An- 
dover  man,  was  commissioned  at  the  time  of  our  en- 
trance into  the  war  as  a  Major  in  the  101st  Engineers 
and  went  with  them  to  France  in  September,  1917. 
He  was  later,  however,  transferred  to  be  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  of  the  101st  Infantry,  26th  Division,  with 
which  regiment  he  saw  plenty  of  fighting.  For  extraor- 
dinary heroism  in  action  near  Verdun  he  was  awarded 
the  Distinguished  Service  Cross  on  October  23,  1918. 
His  citation  reads  as  follows: — 

"During  a  terrific  enemy  shelling  on  two  of  his  battalions 
and  after  both  his  battalion  commanders  had  been  wounded. 
Colonel  Greenway  personally  directed  the  activities  and 
greatly  encouraged  his  forces  by  his  presence.  Leading  them 
in  attack  he  demonstrated  the  utmost  valor  at  the  most  criti- 
cal moments,  and  he  was  the  first  of  his  command  to  enter  the 
German  trench  which  marked  the  objective  of  the  day's 
attack." 

Colonel  Greenway  returned  to  this  country  shortly 
after  the  armistice  and  received  his  honorable  dis- 
charge. 

1893 
Fred  Towsley  Murphy  of  St.  Louis,  Missouri,  one 
of  the  members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Phillips 
Academy,  worked  most  efficiently  during  the  Great 
War  in  the  Medical  Corps,  and  was  eventually  pro- 
moted to  the  rank  of  Colonel  in  the  United  States 
Army.  On  April  16,  1919,  he  was  awarded  the  Dis- 
tinguished Service  Medal  by  General  Pershing  "for 
exceptionally  meritorious  and  distinguished  services." 
Colonel  Murphy  returned  to  this  country  in  March,

1919,  and  shortly  afterward  received  his  honorable 
discharge. 

1895 

Edward  Foote  Hinkle  enlisted  in  July,  1916,  as  a 
second  class  soldier  in  the  1st  Regiment  of  the 
French  Foreign  Legion,  but  was  transferred  in 
August  of  the  same  year  to  Aviation  Service.  He  was 
breveted  as  a  Pursuit  Pilot  on  November  4,  made  a 
Corporal  on  December  15,  and  promoted  to  be  Ser- 
geant in  June,  1917.  Hinkle  was  probably  the  oldest 
aviator  on  active  duty  in  the  Allied  armies  during  the 
war.  He  was  forty  years  of  age  when  he  learned  to  fly, 
and  he  perfected  himself  as  an  aviator  in  a  single- 
seater,  without  a  teacher  in  the  plane.  With  William 
Thaw  and  Raoul  Lufberry,  he  received  from  King 
Nicholas  of  Montenegro  the  Montenegrin  War  Cross, 
these  three  being  the  only  Americans  to  win  that 
honor.  He  had  two  fights  with  enemy  aviators  behind 
the  French  lines,  but  in  each  case  his  opponent  fled  to 
safety.  His  lungs  and  heart  were  finally  affected  by 
cold  and  altitude,  and  he  was  honorably  discharged, 
in  March,  1918. 

1899 

Henry  Root  Stern  of  New  York  City  enlisted 
August  25,  1917,  at  the  Plattsburg  Officers'  Training 
Camp,  and  was  commissioned  First  Lieutenant  of  In- 
fantry on  November  29.  He  was  assigned  to  the  311th 
Infantry,  78th  Division,  and  went  overseas  in  May, 
1918.  On  September  20,  near  Vieville  en  Haie  in  the 
St.  Mihiel  sector,  he  was  wounded  severely  in  action, 
and,  because  of  his  gallantry,  was  recommended  for 
the  Distinguished  Service  Cross.  His  promotion  to  be 
Captain  of  Infantry  arrived  October  5,  but  dated 

151 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

from  August  17.  Captain  Stern  was  honorably  dis- 
charged from  service  on  January  16,  1919. 

1900 

Thomas  Alexander  Butkiewicz  of  Nanticoke, 
Pennsylvania,  volunteered  with  the  Norton-Harjes 
Ambulance  Formation  in  1916,  serving  with  Ambu- 
lance Unit  XL  On  September  24,  1917,  by  order  of 
the  General  commanding  the  French  74th  Infantry, 
he  was  given  the  Croix  de  Guerre,  with  the  following 
citation : — 

"The  American  Volunteer,  Thomas  Butkiewicz,  Jr.,  sous- 
chef  adjoint  of  S.  U.  XI,  volunteered  his  services  in  1916, 
from  which  time  he  has  always  shown  the  highest  qualities  of 
duty  and  technical  ability.  In  March,  1917,  in  a  dangerous 
sector  during  an  attack  of  the  enemy  he  assisted  in  bringing 
in  a  great  number  of  wounded  on  roads  exposed  to  heavy 
enemy  shell-fire  under  extremely  dangerous  conditions.  Upon 
the  occupation  of  a  sector  recently  conquered  he  organized 
the  carrying  of  the  wounded  under  a  heavy  bombardment  of 
high  explosive  shells  with  a  mastery  of  command  and  firmness 
which  imparted  to  the  men  the  same  confidence." 

After  America  entered  the  war,  he  was  commissioned 
a  First  Lieutenant  in  the  United  States  Army,  and 
made  commanding  officer  of  S.  S.  U.  523,  of  which 
he  took  charge  on  October  20,  1917.  He  received  two 
individual  citations,  one  on  November  12,  1918,  and 
another  on  January  8,  1919,  entitling  him  to  add  one 
gold  star,  one  silver  star,  and  two  palms  to  his  original 
Croix  de  Guerre,  On  January  13,  1919,  the  following 
citation  was  given  to  him  and  his  unit  by  Marshal 
Petain : — 

"Section  of  volunteers  who,  immediately  upon  the  declara- 
tion of  war  by  America,  put  themselves  generously  at  the 

152

service  of  the  defense  of  right  and  liberty,  all  animated  by  the 
finest  spirit  of  solidarity  and  sacrifice,  and  with  the  most  ad- 
mirable courage,  coolness,  and  intelligence.  Under  the  com- 
mand of  Lieutenant  Butkiewicz  the  section  won  the  admira- 
tion of  all  in  every  engagement  it  took  part  in  with  the  divi- 
sion during  a  period  of  two  years,  assuring  the  transport  of 
the  wounded  from  the  very  front  lines,  in  spite  of  all  sorts  of 
difficulties  and  the  most  violent  bombardments,  in  the  course 
of  which  a  number  of  drivers  were  killed  or  wounded,  and 
many  cars  were  riddled  by  eclats  or  wrecked  by  shells." 

On  March  1, 1919,  Lieutenant  Butkiewicz  was  honor- 
ably discharged  from  the  American  Army,  and  went 
at  once  to  Poland  in  charge  of  the  transportation  ser- 
vice of  the  American  Red  Cross  in  that  country. 

1901 
Alden  Brooks,  formerly  of  Andover  but  of  recent 
years  a  resident  in  France,  has  won  distinction  both 
as  writer  and  soldier.  Before  America  entered  the  war 
his  volume  of  short  stories.  The  Fighting  Men,  had 
given  one  of  the  best  interpretations  of  various  phases 
of  the  European  conflict.  In  August,  1917,  he  en- 
tered as  a  pupil  in  the  French  Artillery  School  at 
Fontainebleau.  In  November  he  was  made  aspirant  in 
the  83d  Regiment,  67th  Battery,  Heavy  Artillery. 
Early  in  1918  he  was  promoted  to  be  Sous-Lieutenant 
with  the  3d  Group,  81st  Regiment,  R.  A.  L.  For 
bravery  in  action  he  was  awarded  the  French  Croix  de 
Guerre,  with  a  silver  star. 

1902 

John  Nesmith  Greely,  son  of  Major  General 
Adolphus  W.  Greely  of  Washington,  D.  C,  entered 
the  army  by  competition,  and  was  commissioned  on 
January  4,   1908,   as    Second  Lieutenant   of   Field 

153 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IX  THE  WAR 

Artillery.  On  March  2,  1911,  he  was  promoted  to  be 
First  Lieutenant,  and  on  July  1,  1916,  he  secured  his 
Captaincy.  He  served  three  years  in  the  Philippines 
and  six  months  at  Vera  Cruz.  In  July,  1917,  he  was 
ordered  to  duty  with  the  famous  1st  Division,  and 
served  with  it  until  after  the  armistice.  He  was  pro- 
moted successively  to  be  Major,  Field  Artillery, 
Lieutenant-Colonel,  Field  Artillery,  and  Colonel, 
General  Staff,  assigned  to  duty  with  the  Commanding 
General,  1st  Division,  as  Assistant  Chief  of  Staff. 
He  took  an  active  part  in  the  Cantigny  campaign, 
April  5- July  7,  1918,  and  was  cited  by  the  Division 
Commander,  General  Summerall,  "for  distinguished 
ability  while  performing  duties  of  grave  responsi- 
bility." He  later  succeeded  Colonel  Campbell  King 
as  Chief  of  Staff  of  the  Division,  being  in  this  position 
during  the  St.  Mihiel  drive  and  the  Argonne-Meuse 
battles  of  October  4-11.  When  the  1st  Division  went 
to  Germany  with  the  Army  of  Occupation,  Colonel 
Greely  was  ordered  to  duty  on  General  Pershing's 
staff. 

1905 
Eliot  Avery  Carter  of  West  Newton,  Massachu- 
setts, after  attending  three  successive  Plattsburg 
Camps  in  1915,  1916,  and  1917,  was  commissioned  as 
Second  Lieutenant  and  went  overseas  with  Company 
B,  103d  Infantry,  of  the  glorious  26th,  or  Yankee, 
Division.  He  first  went  to  the  front  on  February  8, 
1918,  and,  for  more  than  three  months,  was  Battalion 
Supply  Officer.  He  served  for  a  time  as  Regimental 
Gas  Officer  and  spent  a  month  at  Gondrecourt  in  an 
Infantry  school.  He  rejoined  his  regiment  in  July 
near  Belleau  Wood,  where  he  took  part  in  that  famous 
engagement,  and,  on  July  17,  was  promoted  to  be 

154 


MILITARY  HONORS 

First  Lieutenant.  During  the  St.  Mihiel  drive  he  was 
wounded  and  awarded  the  Distinguished  Service 
Cross,  his  citation  reading  as  follows : — 

"For  extraordinary  heroism  in  action  near  Bois  de  St. 
Remy,  France,  September  12,  1918.  Advancing  against 
greatly  superior  numbers  of  the  enemy,  he  was  painfully 
wounded.  He  refused  evacuation  until  his  objective  was 
reached,  and  during  the  combat  captured  or  killed  more  than 
sixty  of  the  enemy." 

After  some  time  in  the  hospital,  he  rejoined  his  regi- 
ment near  Eparges  Wood.  While  serving  as  Bat- 
talion Adjutant,  he  was  poisoned  with  mustard  gas, 
and,  on  November  4,  was  evacuated  for  hospital 
treatment.  After  six  weeks'  leave  of  absence,  he  en- 
tirely recovered,  and  returned  to  America  with  the 
26th  Division  in  April,  1919. 

1907 
Robert  Wentworth  Bates  was  associated  with  the 
American  Red  Cross  Ambulance  work  in  Italy,  and 
was  awarded  the  Italian  War  Cross  for  bravery  at 
Monte  Grippa. 

John  Reed  Kilpatrick  of  New  York  City,  one  of 
Andover's  greatest  athletes,  was  in  service  overseas 
and  eventually  attained  the  rank  of  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  in  the  United  States  Army.  He  was  awarded 
the  Distinguished  Service  Medal  by  General  Persh- 
ing "for  exceptionally  meritorious  and  distinguished 
services."  His  citation  states  that,  as  a  member  of  the 
Fourth  Section,  General  Staff,  he  exhibited  excep- 
tional tact  and  ability  in  promoting  cooperation  be-

defective  eyesight.  In  January,  1918,  he  entered  the 
Canadian  Field  Artillery  and  was  sent  in  May  to 
England,  where  he  was  located  in  camp  when  the  ar-

ration reads  as  follows : — 

"Paul  Tison  of  New  York  and  Wallace  W.  Kellett  of 
Germantown,  Pa.,  were  driving  an  ambulance  along  the 
'lower  river  road'  on  the  Piave  front  at  a  time  when  the  Aus- 
trians  were  putting  down  a  rather  heavy  barrage.  At  a  poste 
de  secours,  just  in  front  of  the  Italian  second  line,  they  were 
stopped  by  officers  and  advised  not  to  go  on.  Disregarding 
the  suggestion,  they  hurried  on  to  the  dressing-station.  They 
were  compelled  to  drive  through  the  barrage  and,  by  the  time 
they  reached  a  comparatively  safe  spot  to  park  their  ambu- 
lance under  the  bank  of  the  Piave,  the  machine  was  riddled

with  shrapnel.  Loading  their  car  with  wounded,  they  waited 
until  the  hombardment  was  less  severe,  and  returned  safely."

pany. During  the  last  five  hours  of  fighting  he  was 
wounded  in  the  arm.  The  2d  Division  had  crossed  the 
Meuse  the  night  before  and  had  entered  the  Boche 
lines;  they  attacked  early  in  the  morning  and  "Sid's" 
arm  was  broken  in  the  charge,  about  daylight.  He  was 
removed  to  a  captured  farmhouse,  as  he  was  too  far 
from  the  dressing- station  to  be  safely  carried  there. 
About  eleven  o'clock  two  German  officers  appeared 
with  white  flags  and  asked  if  he  knew  the  armistice 
was  signed.  He  verified  the  report,  and  was  then  car- 
ried back  to  the  dressing-station. 

For  extraordinary  heroism  shown  in  this  action  near 
Beaumont,  November  11,  1918,  Lieutenant  Thayer 
was  awarded  the  Distinguished  Service  Cross.  His 
citation  reads  in  part  as  follows: — 

"After  having  been  wounded.  Lieutenant  Thayer  remained 
with  his  company  until  its  objective  had  been  reached,  refus- 
ing evacuation  until  rendered  unconscious  by  loss  of  blood."

Paul  Abbott  of  New  York  City,  while  working  as  a 
member  of  the  American  Ambulance  Field  Service  in 
Italy  in  the  spring  of  1918,  was  decorated  with  the 
Italian  Medaglia  Distintivo  for  bravery  under  fire 
and  devotion  to  duty. 

Homer  Conroy  of  Brooklyn,  New  York,  served 
for  five  months  in  the  American  Ambulance  Field 
Service  in  1917,  but  in  November  of  that  year  enlisted

in  the  French  Army.  After  graduating  from  Fon- 
tainebleau  as  Sous-Officier,  he  was  assigned  to  the 
215th  Regiment,  as  a  member  of  which  he  took  part  in 
many  engagements.  From  General  Degoutte  of  the 
6th  French  Army  he  received  the  Croioo  de  Guerre^ 
with  palm  and  the  following  citation : — 

"Jeune  officier  plein  d'ardeur  a  assure  son  service  dans  le 
combat  du  15  juillet  avec  un  sang-froid  remarquable,  negli- 
geant  de  s'abriter  a  I'arrivee  des  obus  faisant  en  meme  temps 
que  son  service  de  chef  de  section  le  service  d'observation

porter, de  fa9on  a  ne  pas  le  laisser  tomber  aux  mains  de 
I'ennemi — Pa  transports  sous  le  feu  direct  pendant  500 
metres." 

In  addition  Conroy  has  also  received  the  Medaille 
Militaire,  the  highest  French  award  for  bravery.  He 
was  honorably  discharged  from  service  on  March  6, 
1919,  and  returned  at  once  to  America. 

William  Arthur  Flint  of  New  Haven,  Connecti- 
cut, enlisted  on  June  8,  1917,  as  a  private  in  the  Yale 
Ambulance  Unit,  and  sailed  for  France  on  August  7. 
As  a  member  of  Sanitary  Service  Unit  No.  585,  he 
received  the  Croioo  de  Guerre  on  September  8,  1918, 
his  citation  reading  as  follows : — 

"William  A.  Flint,  American  driver,  very  devoted  and  very 
courageous,  has  displayed  the  most  beautiful  bravery  and  a 
remarkable  endurance  during  the  operations  from  the  17th 
to  the  23d  of  August,  1918,  evacuating  wounded  from  the 
posts  almost  continually  under  the  fire  of  the  enemy." 

Flint  had  a  most  exciting  experience  in  France,  taking 
part  in  nearly  all  the  major  operations  of  the  Ameri- 
can Army  during  1918,  and  later  going  with  the  Army 
of  Occupation  into  Germany.

PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

Dudley  Francis  Cecil  Wolfe  has  had  his  full 
share  of  army  service  of  various  kinds  and  has  prob- 
ably a  larger  collection  of  medals  than  any  other  An- 
dover  man.  Enlisting  on  July  10,  1917,  in  the  1st 
Artillery,  Maine  National  Guard,  he  was  rejected 
when  the  regiment  was  federalized  on  account  of 
defective  eyesight  and  flat  feet.  He  then,  after  being 
turned  down  by  every  other  branch  of  service,  volun- 
teered in  the  American  Ambulance  Service  in  France, 
and  worked  as  a  camion  driver  for  one  month  on  the 
Soissons  front.  For  the  next  ten  months  he  was  an 
ambulance  driver  with  the  Italian  Ambulance  Ser- 
vice, in  Section  2  on  the  Piave  River.  While  engaged 
in  this  work,  he  was  presented  by  the  Duke  of  Aosta 
with  the  Italian  medal  of  valor  for  exceptional  brav- 
ery during  the  Austrian  attack  of  June  14-24,  1918. 
He  received  also  the  Italian  Croce  di  Guerra^  the 
Italian  Red  Cross  medal,  and  the  Campaign  medal 
for  the  Italian-Austrian  War.  On  October  1,  1918, 
he  enlisted  in  the  famous  French  Legion  J^trangere, 
receiving  the  French  Volunteer  Medal  and  the 
French  Campaign  Medal.  The  signing  of  the  armis- 
tice found  him  still  a  member  of  the  Foreign  Legion.

Harold  Robert  Buckley  of  Agawam,  Massachu- 
setts, one  of  Andover's  two  aces,  has  a  record  of 
achievement  which  few  aviators  can  surpass.  He  went 
overseas  in  April,  1917,  with  the  Andover  Ambu- 
lance Unit,  but  soon  found  the  camion  service  too 
sheltered  and  tame.  He  wrote  home: — 

"The  sight  of  old,  tired  men,  as  old  as  our  fathers,  covered 
with  mud  and  carrying  a  pack  of  heavy  equipment,  dragging 
themselves  along  the  roads  to  and  from  the  trenches,  was  too

much  for  us,  and  practically  all  of  us  have  changed,  or  soon 
will,  from  the  field  service  to  something  else  where  we  can  feel 
that  we  are  doing  all  we  can,  and  not  merely  a  part." 

Enlisting  on  October  25  as  a  private  in  the  Avia- 
tion Section,  Signal  Corps,  he  soon  showed  himself  a 
cool  and  skilful  airman.  On  December  12  he  received 
his  First  Lieutenant's  bar,  and  was  assigned  to  the 
1st  Pursuit  Group,  95th  Aero  Squadron,  as  a  member 
of  which  he  was  associated  with  James  Knowles,  the 
other  Andover  ace.  Buckley's  first  victory  was  won 
on  May  30,  1918,  and  for  it  he  was  awarded  the  Croix 
de  Guerre  on  November  29,  by  special  order  of  Gen- 
eral Petain.  The  citation  reads  as  follows: — 

"Pilote  de  chasse  et  chef  de  patrouille  calme  et  determine. 
A  attaque  des  avions  et  des  ballons  et  mitraille  des  troupes  a 
terre  a  faible  altitude.  Le  30  mai,  1918,  a,  avec  sa  patrouille 
livre  combat  a  deux  avions  ennemis  dont  I'un  fut  abattu, 
I'autre  force  de  descendre  desempare." 

On  August  10  he  performed  a  feat  of  extraordinary 
heroism  in  action  which  won  him  the  American  Dis- 
tinguished Service  Cross,  presented  on  November  21. 
The  exploit  is  described  as  follows : — 

"Captain  Buckley  was  on  a  patrol  protecting  a  French 
biplane  observation  machine,  when  they  were  suddenly  set 
upon  by  six  enemy  planes.  Captain  Buckley  attacked  and 
destroyed  the  nearest,  and  the  remainder  fled  into  their  own 
territory.  He  then  carried  on  with  his  mission  until  he  had 
escorted  the  Allied  plane  safely  to  its  own  aerodrome." 

Another  exhibition  of  daring  on  September  26  and 
27,  near  Reiville,  France,  gave  him  a  Bronze  Oak 
Leaf  in  addition  to  his  Distinguished  Service  Cross. 
His  citation  reads ; — 

"Captain  Buckley  dived  through  a  violent  and  heavy  air- 
craft and  machine-gun  fire  and  set  on  fire  an  enemy  balloon 

181 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

that  was  being  lowered  to  its  nest.  On  the  next  day,  while 
leading  a  patrol,  he  met  and  sent  down  in  flames  an  enemy 
plane  while  it  was  engaged  in  reglage  work." 

His  promotion  to  be  Captain,  Air  Service,  arrived  on 
November  1, 1918,  at  which  time  he  wrote: — 

"Of  the  twenty  aviators  in  my  squadron  who  started  with 
me  at  the  front,  there  are  only  five  left,  including  myself.  .  .  . 
I  am  now  an  ace,  with  five  official  victories  to  my  credit." 

Captain  Buckley  has  also  been  given  the  American 
Aero  Club  Medal  for  brilliant  service.  He  returned 
to  America  in  March,  1919,  and  received  his  honorable 
discharge. 

James  Henry  Eaton  of  Lawrence,  Massachusetts, 
joined  the  American  Red  Cross  Ambulance  Service 
in  May,  1918,  and  was  sent  to  Italy  for  duty.  He 
served  along  the  Piave  front  from  June  to  September, 
1918,  and  was  awarded  the  Italian  War  Cross  for 
"bravery  under  fire."  Section  Number  3,  to  which  he 
belonged,  won  unusual  distinction  because  of  the  part 
it  played  in  supplying  those  in  the  front  line  with 
munitions  and  other  necessary  supplies  at  a  time  dur- 
ing the  great  Austrian  drive  when  all  other  means  of 
securing  them  had  been  cut  off. 

Eaton  left  the  ambulance  work  in  order  to  enlist  in 
the  British  Royal  Air  Force,  and  was  accepted  at 
once  for  training.  At  the  time  of  the  armistice  he  was 
in  England  undergoing  instruction.  He  was  honor- 
ably discharged  on  February  27,  1919,  receiving  at 
that  time  an  honorary  Second  Lieutenancy  in  the 
Royal  Air  Force.  He  returned  to  America  in  March, 
1919. 

Earle  Lancaster  was  a  member  of  Battery  A  in 
Boston  and,  after  the  American  Declaration  of  War,

trained  three  months  at  Boxford,  Massachusetts. 
When  the  National  Guard  was  federalized,  however, 
he  was  honorably  discharged  because  of  a  bad  ankle 
resulting  from  a  football  injury.  For  the  same  cause 
he  was  rejected  by  the  navy  and  the  aviation  service. 
Volunteering  in  the  American  Ambulance  Field  Ser- 
vice, he  sailed  overseas  on  October  1,  1917.  Once  in 
France,  he  enlisted  in  the  United  States  Army,  was 
accepted,  and  assigned  to  Section  638,  Convois  Autos. 
His  entire  section  was  cited  three  times.  He  himself 
was  cited  for  bravery  under  fire  and  was  decorated 
with  the  French  Croix  de  Guerre  for  distinguished 
courage. 

MuiR  Whillas  Lind  of  Detroit,  Michigan,  enhsted 
in  May,  1917,  as  an  ambulance  driver  with  the  Ameri-

Sanitary  Service  Unit  638.  He  was  awarded  the 
Croix  de  Guerre  for  exceptional  bravery,  and  received 
both  army  and  divisional  citations.  When  the  United 
States  entered  the  war,  he  enlisted  in  our  own  army, 
but  was  assigned  to  his  former  work  and  section. 

Mortimer  James  Miller  of  Rochester,  New  York, 
was  awarded  the  French  Croix  de  Guerre  for  extraor-

Davis  Nicholes  Ripley  of  Newton  Center,  Massa-

1917,  he  was  awarded  the  Croix  de  Guerre,  by  Order 
No.  88,  of  the  13th  Army  Corps.  His  citation  reads  as 
follows : — 

"Charge  d'assurer  les  evacuations  dans  un   secteur  tres

tion  de  son  service." 

Ellis  Van  Der  Pyl  was  only  eighteen  years  old 
when  he  enlisted  in  the  Signal  Corps  and  was  sent  to 
France.  He  attended  the  Army  Signal  School  at 
Langres,  France,  and,  after  five  weeks,  was  ordered 
to  the  front.  On  one  occasion  near  Seicheprey  the  Ger- 
mans attacked  and  Van  Der  Pyl,  with  four  comrades, 
was  caught  in  a  dugout  five  feet  below  the  ground  and 
obliged  to  remain  until  the  Americans  counter- 
attacked. At  Chateau-Thierry  he  was  in  charge  of  a 
signal  station.  While  he  was  laying  a  communicating 
wire,  a  grenade  burst  behind  him,  wounding  him  in 
the  wrist,  but  he  returned  on  the  same  day  to  duty. 
The  exploit  which  won  him  the  Croix  de  Guerre  was 
an  act  of  conspicuous  bravery.  With  three  companions 
he  was  located  in  a  signal  station,  when  it  was  dis- 
covered that  the  telephone  line  was  broken.  He  and 
one  other  followed  the  line  out  into  No  Man's  Land 
to  find  the  break.  His  comrade  was  knocked  down  by 
a  piece  of  shrapnel,  but  Van  Der  Pyl  continued  on, 
found  the  separation  and  joined  it,  and  then,  return- 
ing to  his  friend,  carried  him  back  to  the  station.  Dur- 
ing the  St.  Mihiel  drive  in  September,  he  was  cited  by 
his  superior  officer  for  notable  work  in  securing  in- 
formation about  the  enemy's  plans,  and  was  promoted 
to  a  Sergeancy.  A  few  days  afterward  he  was  gassed 
while  laying  a  wire,  and  was  in  the  hospital  at  the  time 
of  the  armistice.  He  was  not  able  to  rejoin  his  com- 
pany until  December  10.  Van  Der  Pyl,  in  addition  to 
his  other  honors,  has  been  recommended  for  the  Dis- 
tinguished Service  Cross.

THE  ANDOVER  AMBULANCE  UNIT 

BY  FREDERICK  JOSEPH  DALY 
FORMERLY  FIRST  LIEUTENANT,  M.  T.  C. 

The  Phillips  Academy  Ambulance  Unit  of  twenty- 
two  men  was  organized  through  the  personal  efforts 
of  Principal  Alfred  E.  Stearns,  and  a  generous  re- 
sponse to  those  efforts  on  the  part  of  our  alumni.  It 
enjoys  the  distinction  of  being  the  only  preparatory 
school  unit  sent  out  for  volunteer  work  in  the  Great 
War.  Furthermore  it  was  organized  before  our  coun- 
try declared  war  on  Germany.  Only  the  lack  of  trans- 
portation prevented  an  earlier  start. 

Through  the  kindness  of  our  alumni  in  New  York 
City  a  farewell  reception  was  held  at  the  Harvard 
Club.  The  chief  speaker  was  Principal  Stearns,  and 
it  was  fitting  that  he  should  have  been  so,  since  no  man 
had  our  welfare  more  at  heart,  no  man  had  done  more 
to  get  the  unit  started,  no  man  had  the  cause  of  our 
leaving  and  the  cause  of  the  Allies  more  on  his  mind 
than  the  Principal.  What  he  said  to  us  will  always  be 
remembered.  The  encouragement  and  inspiration 
given  in  that  talk  went  far  towards  carrying  the  unit 
successfully  on  its  mission, — a  mission  that  brought 
results  and  contributed  not  a  little  for  the  end  which 
has  since  come  about. 

On  April  28,  1917,  the  unit  embarked  aboard  the 
French  liner,  "La  Touraine."  The  guns  mounted  fore 
and  aft  gave  us  the  first  thrill  of  the  war.  Fortunately 
or  unfortunately,  we  had  no  occasion  to  use  them.  In 
addition  to  the  mounted  pieces  we  found  many  poilus

returning  for  another  tour  in  the  trenches.  Aviators, 
and  other  volunteers  for  ambulance  work  in  the  French 
armies,  together  with  our  unit,  comprised  the  ship  pas- 
senger list. 

Soon  after  dropping  the  pilot,  the  vessel  ran  into  a 
severe  snowstorm  which  lasted  about  four  days,  with 
the  result  that  there  was  some  disturbance  in  the 
Interior  Department,  and  the  subsequent  proceedings 
took  place  in  accordance  with  the  custom  in  such  cases. 
It  was  possible  to  find  room  in  any  part  of  the  vessel 
except  the  railing.  There  was  one  consolation  at  that 
period;  we  had  no  fear  of  submarines.  The  only  fear 
seemed  to  be  that  a  submarine  would  not  appear  and 
settle  the  matter. 

After  everybody  recovered,  the  Andover  Unit 
began  to  show  what  real  stuff  it  possessed,  and  a  chal- 
lenge was  issued  for  a  contest  of  any  kind  whatsoever, 
no  exceptions  being  made.  Two  "huskies"  finally 
offered  battle  in  the  challenge  for  a  wrestling  match, 
and  Frank  Talmage,  '18,  and  Schuyler  Lee,  '18, 
were  the  representatives  to  uphold  the  honor  of  the 
school, — which  they  did  most  completely.  There  was 
no  mistake  about  their  success,  although  they  were 
beaten  if  the  size  of  their  opponents  amounted  to  any- 
thing. On  high  seas,  therefore,  Phillips  Academy  was 
holding  its  own ;  and  no  more  acceptances  came  from 
our  fellow  passengers. 

The  unit  debarked  at  Bordeaux,  and  were  there 
about  long  enough  to  see  the  varied  uniforms  of  the 
French  troops  and  to  learn  that  we  had  come  at  a  time 
when  there  was  a  great  need  for  help.  This  was  further 
impressed  upon  us  shortly  after  the  unit  reached  the 
headquarters  of  the  American  Field  Service. 

Although  we  had  come  as  an  Ambulance  Unit,  we

changed  to  the  Motor  Truck  branch  of  the  French 
Army,  since  we  found  that  we  could  render  service  in 
that  branch  more  effectively  than  in  ambulance  work. 
We  were  told  of  the  most  urgent  appeal  that  had  come 
from  the  French  High  Command,  asking  for  volun- 
teers to  man  the  trucks.  So,  after  much  serious  thought 
in  the  matter,  all  but  four  changed  to  truck  work, — a 
work  which  had  few  if  any  thrills,  but  which  proved 
to  be  as  important  as  any  branch  of  service. 

The  unit  also  enjoyed  the  distinction  of  being 
among  the  first  Americans  to  march  through  Paris 
under  arms,  as  each  man  was  supplied  with  French 
rifle,  helmet,  and  gas-mask.  At  the  Gare  de  TEst  the 
unit  was  an  object  of  admiration  and  wonder  com- 
bined :  admiration,  because  they  knew  we  were  Ameri- 
cans, and  wonder,  because  they  could  not  tell  just 
what  army  we  were  fighting  with,  since  our  uniform 
resembled  that  of  the  British  and  our  other  equipment 
was  manifestly  French. 

The  train  finally  got  under  way  for  Dommiers,  a 
small  village  about  fifteen  miles  southwest  of  Soissons. 
Here  we  received  instruction  on  the  motor  convoy 
system  in  the  French  Army  and  some  drill  under  the 
French  Lieutenant  in  charge  of  the  camp, — a  man 
who  had  been  wounded  twice  during  the  first  battle  of 
the  Marne  in  1914.  We  had  one  day's  work  on  the 
targets ;  fortunately  only  one,  for  it  is  doubtful  if  the 
rifles  issued  would  have  lasted  another  dozen  rounds. 
They  were  remnants  of  the  Franco-Prussian  War, 
and  of  other  wars  of  an  earlier  date.  The  result  of 
firing  a  shot  was  just  about  as  bad  behind  the  stock  as 
in  front  of  the  muzzle.  The  only  way  you  could  tell 
was  by  the  smoke  screen  at  the  muzzle  end,  which  con- 
cealed the  view  in  front  for  some  time.  We  were  not 

190

surprised  when  we  heard  of  the  success  the  smoke 
screen  had  at  sea.  These  were  the  guns,  however,  or 
guns  hke  these,  which  helped  to  stop  the  German 
hordes  at  the  beginning  of  the  war.  We  were  learning 
each  day  of  the  trials  and  difficulties  which  the  gallant 
French  soldiers  endured  from  the  day  of  mobilization. 
They  took  what  was  given  them  and  met  successfully 
the  organized,  well-equipped,  and  well-trained  band 
of  Huns. 

The  training  period  of  the  unit  came  to  an  end  on 
June  1,  1917,  and  it  was  then  sent  as  a  section  in  the 
Mallet  Reserve,  named  from  the  French  Captain  in 
command.  A  reserve  in  this  sense  is  quite  different 
from  the  meaning  of  that  word  as  applied,  for  ex- 
ample, to  the  infantry  and  artillery.  In  the  French 
Automobile  Service  it  was  used  as  a  reserve  to  be 
called  upon  for  transporting  material  of  any  kind  to 
any  point  for  any  of  the  armies, — a  very  satisfactory 
and  efficient  way  of  utilizing  motor  equipment.  It  was 
hard  on  the  men,  but  that  is  true  of  any  branch  in  war 
time. 

The  camp  at  this  period  was  located  about  midway 
between  Soissons  and  Rheims, — a  region  which  later 
became  the  scene  of  fierce  attacks  and  counter-attacks. 
From  this  camp  the  various  units  would  receive  orders 
from  the  French  headquarters  to  transport  ammuni- 
tion and  engineer  materiel  to  any  point  between  the 
above-mentioned  places,  in  preparation  for  the  big 
attack  on  the  Chemin  des  Dames.  For  six  months, 
therefore,  the  unit  hauled  night  and  day,  and  espe- 
cially at  night  when  working  north  of  the  Aisne  line, 
that  region  being  within  the  range  of  the  enemy's  fire.

movements,  with  a  time  set  for  leaving  the  depots  and 
a  time  set  for  arrival  at  some  point  designated  from 
headquarters  made  the  task  far  from  an  easy  one. 
Then,  in  addition,  when  one  had  to  breathe  all  day 
and  all  night  clouds  of  dust  such  as  those  turned  up  by 
the  French  roads,  it  can  be  taken  for  granted  that  a 
job  of  this  nature  took  something  more  than  the  mere 
ability  to  drive.  It  was  stated  at  one  time  that  the 
drivers  could  tell  the  approximate  distance  of  the 
vehicle  in  front  by  the  taste  of  the  dust,  and  there  must 
have  been  truth  in  that  statement,  for  it  was  not  pos- 
sible to  see  anything  in  certain  spots  at  night.  How- 
ever there  was  a  slight  consolation  to  be  had  from  the 
fact  that  we  were  riding  on  vehicles  as  large  as,  if  not 
larger  than,  anything  to  be  met  with  on  the  roads. 

It  has  been  stated  by  men  in  authority  that  the 
Mallet  Reserve,  of  which  the  Phillips  Academy  Unit 
was  a  part,  hauled  one-half  the  material  used  during 
the  attack  on  the  Chemin  des  Dames  in  October,  1917, 
the  objective  being  Fort  Malmaison  and  the  heights 
overlooking  the  valley  of  the  Ailette  River.  The  ob- 
jective was  reached  after  the  greatest  artillery  prepa- 
ration of  the  war,  and  the  Academy  boys  played  no 
insignificant  part  in  making  the  attack  a  success. 

To  the  Principal  and  to  those  who  responded  to  his 
appeal  all  praise  is  due.  Nothing  could  have  been 
appreciated  more  by  our  French  comrades,  and  at  a 
time  when  few  Americans  were  ready  to  help.  Our 
greeting  everywhere  was  warm  and  cordial,  and  the 
thanks  given  to  us  for  our  volunteer  work  by  those  in 
command  of  the  French  armies  was  heartfelt  and  sin- 
cere. This  mingling  of  French  and  Americans  brought 
about  a  lasting  friendship  and  understanding  between 
the  two  peoples,  and  consequently  the  decision  to  turn

aside  all  previous  plans  formed  before  leaving  Amer- 
ica was  well  worth  while  and  richly  rewarded. 

The  next  question  that  had  to  be  solved  was  the  part 
the  members  were  to  play  in  the  American  Army, 
when,  in  October,  1917,  the  opportunity  came  for  all 
to  make  the  decision.  Everyone  who  was  able  joined 
the  aviation  branch,  only  two  remaining  in  the  trans- 
port service.  Whatever  branch  was  decided  upon,  the 
men  of  Andover  continued  to  render  at  all  times  the 
best  they  had  in  them.  Some,  indeed,  have  given  all 
they  had  in  rendering  this  service.  They  have  left  us, 
but  will  not  be  forgotten. 

THE  RECORD  OF  THE  MEMBERS 

Frederick  Joseph  Daly,  '07,  Coach  of  the  Andover 
football  team  and  Assistant  to  the  Principal,  was  ex- 
actly the  man  to  lead  the  Andover  Unit,  and  Dr. 
Stearns,  when  he  was  arranging  for  his  project  of 
sending  a  group  of  boys  overseas,  was  particularly  de- 
lighted when  he  learned  that  Mr.  Daly  was  not  only 
willing  but  eager  to  go  with  them.  Upon  him  rested 
the  responsibility  of  directing  the  unit  after  it  left 
New  York,  and  he  had  to  help  the  members  to  make 
many  important  decisions.  His  qualities  of  leadership 
and  his  excellent  judgment  in  moments  when  prompt- 
ness of  action  was  required  were  large  factors  in  mak- 
ing the  unit  a  credit  to  the  school  which  it  represented. 
When  the  unit  was  breaking  up,  Mr.  Daly  enlisted 
in  the  American  Army  as  a  private  on  October  1, 1917, 
and  was  shortly  after,  on  November  24,  commissioned 
as  a  Second  Lieutenant  in  the  Quartermaster  Corps, 
assigned  for  duty  with  the  work  of  motor  transporta- 
tion. When  the  Motor  Transport  Corps  was  organized 
in  the  summer  of  1918,  Lieutenant  Daly  was  one  of 

193 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

the  earliest  officers  to  be  transferred  to  it;  and,  on 
October  1,  1918,  he  received  a  well-deserved  promo- 
tion to  be  First  Lieutenant,  M.  T.  C.  He  returned  to 
America  in  January,  1919,  and  was  honorably  dis- 
charged on  February  3. 


Alexander  Bern  Bruce,  '11,  who,  as  we  have  seen, 
fell  to  death  on  August  17,  1918,  had  been  an  In- 
structor at  Phillips  Academy  and  acted  as  assistant 
to  Lieutenant  Frederick  Joseph  Daly,  who  was  in 
charge  of  the  Andover  Unit.  Bruce,  although  older 
than  the  boys  in  the  party,  had  a  youthful  spirit  and 
was  very  popular  with  them.  Although  he  was  natu- 
rally reticent  and  quiet,  he  told  in  his  letters  of  the 
pleasure  which  he  found  in  associating  with  these 
younger  companions ;  and  he  was  fully  their  equal  in 
audacity  and  courage.  He  wrote  frequently  about  his 
adventures  with  them  and  their  eagerness  to  see  actual 
combat.  He  himself  was  a  brilliant  aviator,  and  he 
died,  as  he  would  have  wished  to  give  his  life,  in  action. 

Elbridge  Adams,  '17,  of  Williamstown,  Massachu- 
setts, did  not  choose  camion  service  but  remained  in 
ambulance  work,  leaving  Paris  with  Section  26  on 
May  28,  1917.  The  section  proceeded  to  Oncement, 
where  it  formed  part  of  the  19th  Division,  10th  Corps, 
2d  French  Army.  Oncement  is  about  three  miles 
south  of  Verdun  on  the  Meuse  River,  and  was  then 
some  three  miles  from  the  French  lines.  For  some 
weeks  the  work  was  light,  but,  during  the  great 
French  attack  of  September,  1917,  many  wounded 
men  were  carried  to  the  base  hospitals  and  the  section 
was  frequently  bombed. 

194 


AMBULANCE  UNIT 

In  October  the  section  was  cited  from  Corps  head- 
quarters and  given  a  Croix  de  Guerre,  with  a  gold  star. 
On  October  23  Adams  left  the  front,  arriving  in  New 
York  on  November  12,  1917. 

David  Hay  At  water,  '17,  went  overseas  in  April, 
1917,  with  the  Andover  Ambulance  Unit,  and,  for  a 
time,  took  part  with  the  others  in  the  camion  service. 
Later,  however,  he  secured  his  transfer  into  ambu- 
lance driving,  at  which  he  was  occupied  until  Novem- 
ber, when  he  left  for  home  and  entered  college,  much 
against  his  own  wishes.  Some  of  his  experiences  were 
most  interesting.  On  September  7,  1917,  he  wrote: — 
"On  the  2d  eight  shells  landed  within  thirty  yards  of  me, 
one  being  less  than  twenty  yards  away.  I  was  hit  in  the  thigh 
with  a  stone,  but  only  bruised.  On  the  night  of  the  3d  I  ran 
into  some  gas  which  the  sergeant  at  the  post  said  was  the 
worst  he  had  ever  been  in.  Hundreds  of  us  passed  out,  and 
among  them  myself  and  another  boy  in  the  Section.  It  smells 
like  new-mown  hay.  On  the  4th  and  5th  I  had  some  close  calls 
too.  On  the  5th  they  bombarded  the  post  very  heavily,  and 
our  dugout  was  nearly  smashed.  Since  then  nothing  has  ar- 
rived nearer  than  200  yards." 

Chester  Arthur  Bates,  '19,  after  serving  his  period 
of  enlistment  in  camion  driving,  enlisted  in  the  United 
States  Naval  Reserve  Corps,  as  a  flying  cadet.  After 
training  in  Italy,  he  was  commissioned  as  Ensign  in 
the  Naval  Aviation  branch  of  the  service.  He  was 
honorably  discharged,  March,  1919,  shortly  after  his 
return  to  America. 

Playford  Boyle,  '19,  of  Uniontown,  Pennsylvania, 
went  to  France  with  the  Andover  Ambulance  Unit 
and  worked  for  nearly  six  months  in  the  camion  ser- 

195 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

vice.  With  Dole  and  Crane,  also  of  the  unit,  he  ap- 
plied for  aviation  almost  as  soon  as  he  arrived  over- 
seas; but  it  was  not  until  October  29,  1917,  that  he 
was  allowed  to  leave  the  French  Army  and  enlist  as 
a  private  in  the  Aviation  Section  of  the  Signal  Corps. 
He  was  held  for  training  for  some  months  at  St. 
Maixent,  and  later  at  Chateauroux  and  Issoudun,  re- 
ceiving his  commission  as  Second  Lieutenant,  Avia- 
tion Service,  on  May  18, 1918.  Airplanes  being  at  that 
time  far  from  plentiful,  he  saw  no  active  combat  work. 
He  returned  to  America  early  in  1919,  and  was  honor- 
ably discharged  on  February  10.  He  reentered  Phil- 
lips Academy  for  the  spring  term,  graduating  in  June, 
1919. 

Harold  Robert  Buckley,  '17,  whose  glorious  record 
as  an  aviator  will  long  be  memorable  in  the  annals  of 
the  school,  was  the  only  one  of  the  Andover  Unit  to 
win  the  Distinguished  Service  Cross.  In  combat,  he 
was  extraordinarily  cool  and  skilful,  and  he  became 
an  ace  without  accident  or  mishap.  His  rank  of  Cap- 
tain was  also  the  highest  attained  by  any  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  unit.  The  details  of  his  career  are  related 
on  another  page  of  this  volume. 

Paul  Howard  Crane,  '17,  of  Montclair,  New  Jersey, 
after  completing  his  term  of  enlistment  with  the  An- 
dover Unit,  enlisted,  with  Boyle  and  Dole,  in  the 
American  Army  as  a  private  in  the  Aviation  Service 
of  the  Signal  Corps.  After  some  instruction  at  St. 
Maixent,  he  was  ordered  to  Voves  and  from  there  to 
Issoudun,  where,  on  May  18,  1918,  he  was  commis- 
sioned as  Second  Lieutenant,  Air  Service.  He  was 
honorably  discharged  in  February,  1919,  and  returned 
to  Yale  University  to  finish  his  course.

AMBULANCE  UNIT 

Robert  Alden  Dole,  '18,  of  Andover,  went  overseas 
with  the  Andover  Ambulance  Unit  and  for  six  months 
drove  in  the  camion  service,  being  discharged  on  Octo- 
ber 28.  He  made  every  effort  to  enHst  in  aviation,  but 
was  rejected  on  account  of  his  youth;  and,  after  driv- 
ing a  United  States  Staff  car  in  Paris  for  some  weeks, 
he  enhsted  in  the  Air  Service,  Supply  Department, 
later  transferring  to  the  Radio  Department  as  an 
inspector.  After  the  armistice  he  was  taken  into  the 
Liquidation  Department  and  made  a  member  of  the 
Purchasing  Board  for  the  Army  of  Occupation. 

Paul  Rice  Doolin,  '16,  joined  the  unit  after  Com- 
mencement and  sailed  from  New  York,  June  25, 1917, 
arriving  in  Bordeaux  on  July  4.  After  two  weeks  of 
training,  he  was  assigned  to  duty  driving  a  camion, 
and  served  for  three  months,  taking  part  in  the  battles 
of  Chemin  des  Dames  and  the  Aisne.  He  then  en- 
listed as  a  private  in  the  United  States  Army,  at  the 
same  time  applying  for  aviation.  In  March,  1918,  he 
began  training  as  a  cadet  aviator,  at  Chaumont,  and 
in  August  he  received  his  commission  as  Second  Lieu- 
tenant. He  had  just  completed  his  course  of  instruc- 
tion as  a  chasse  pilot  at  Issoudun  when  the  armistice 
was  signed.  He  was  later  detailed  for  work  on  a  his- 
tory of  American  Aviation  in  France. 


George  Eaton  Dresser,  '17,  did  not  accompany  the 
original  members  of  the  Andover  Unit  abroad  in 
April,  but  remained  to  graduate  from  Phillips  Acad- 
emy in  June  and  then  sailed  at  once  overseas,  joining 
his  friends  at  the  front  in  the  camion  service.  He  later 
enlisted  in  the  Tank  Corps,  and,  on  September  6, 
1918,  went  into  action.  On  the  early  morning  of  Sep- 

197 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

tember  12  he  went  forward  with  his  company,  but  his 
tank  stuck  in  a  ditch;  thereupon  he  and  several  other 
"dismounted"  tank  drivers  went  forward  and  captured 
a  German  machine  gun  nest,  at  the  same  time  taking 
many  prisoners.  On  September  25  the  company  moved 
to  Vauquois  Woods.  On  the  following  morning,  while 
his  tank  with  seven  others  was  advancing,  a  shell  hit 
the  front  of  his  machine.  Dresser  was  killed  instantly, 
and  his  comrade  in  the  tank  was  seriously  wounded 
and  permanently  blinded.  Dresser  was  a  resolute, 
manly  fellow,  who  inspired  confidence  and  had  great 
powers  of  leadership.  One  of  his  companions  writes 
that  he  was  one  of  the  "best  liked  and  most  respected 
men  in  the  company." 


Thomas  Haskins  Joyce,  '17,  of  Pasadena,  Califor- 
nia, sailed  with  the  Andover  Ambulance  Unit  and 
spent  five  months  in  France,  working  in  Section  12. 
In  October,  1917,  he  returned  to  America  and  at  once 
enlisted  in  the  Air  Service,  being  called  to  active  duty 
in  February,  1918,  at  the  School  of  Military  Aero- 
nautics at  Berkeley,  California.  After  graduating,  he 
spent  a  month  at  Camp  Dick,  Dallas,  Texas,  and  was 
then  assigned  to  Carruthers  Field  at  Fort  Worth  as 
Flying  Instructor.  On  July  2,  when  his  commission 
was  only  two  weeks  away,  he  crashed,  escaping  with  a 
right  arm  badly  crushed  at  the  wrist.  He  was  in  the 
hospital  or  on  sick  leave  until  January  9,  1919,  when 
he  returned  to  Fort  Worth,  where  he  received  his 
honorable  discharge.

Massachusetts,  went  overseas  with  the  Andover  Am-

bulance  Unit  and  served  six  months  in  France  as  a 
member  of  S.  S.  U.  13,  which  was  attached  to  the  4th 
French  Army,  operating  in  the  Champagne  sector  and 
the  Argonne.  In  October,  1917,  his  section  was  at- 
tached to  the  2d  French  Army,  near  Verdun.  While 
working  in  this  vicinity,  Knowles  was  in  the  hospital 
ten  days,  suffering  from  shell  shock.  He  returned 
home  in  December,  1917,  where,  at  Harvard,  he  com- 
pleted the  Reserve  Officers'  Training  Camp  course  as 
Regimental  Supply  Sergeant.  In  August,  1918,  he 
enlisted  in  the  Field  Artillery  Central  Officers'  Train- 
ing School  at  Camp  Taylor  and  was  graduated  and 
commissioned  a  Second  Lieutenant  in  December, 
1918.  Shortly  after,  he  received  his  honorable  dis- 
charge. 

George  Lawrence,  '19,  of  Binghamton,  New  York, 
of  the  Andover  Ambulance  Unit,  chose  camion  work, 
and  from  May  20  until  October  28, 1917,  worked  near 
the  front  between  Soissons  and  Rheims.  On  December 
17, 1917,  he  arrived  home,  having  been  rejected  in  the 
American  and  British  Aviation  Service  on  account  of 
his  youth.  When  he  became  eighteen,  he  enlisted  on 
April  5,  1918,  in  the  Royal  Air  Force  at  Toronto, 
Canada.  He  became  Lance-Corporal  and  Corporal, 
and  was  finally  commissioned  as  Flight  Cadet  on 
November  27,  1918.  He  was  honorably  discharged  on 
the  same  day.  While  in  training,  he  crashed  to  earth 
from  a  height  of  five  hundred  feet,  but  escaped  with 
minor  injuries. 


Schuyler  Lee,  '18,  whose  death  in  action  on  April 
12, 1917,  robbed  the  Andover  Unit  of  the  second  of  its 
members, — ^Jack  Wright  having  been  first, — was  the 

199 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

first  of  the  number  actually  to  leave  for  aviation,  and, 
unlike  the  others,  he  enlisted  in  the  French  Army,  in 
the  LaFayette  Escadrille.  While  Jack  Wright  and 
"Bill"  Taylor  were  training  at  Tours  and  Issoudun, 
Lee  was  undergoing  instruction  at  Avord ;  and  he  was 
probably  the  earliest  of  the  unit  to  go  into  the  air,  as 
he  was  also  the  first  to  take  part  in  real  combat.  The 
story  of  his  army  career  is  told  elsewhere  in  this  vol- 
ume. Like  Wright  and  Taylor,  he  was  a  gallant 
figure,  who  had  about  him  the  glamor  of  romance.  It 
was  of  young  men  like  these  that  Dr.  Stearns  was 
thinking  when  he  wrote  to  Schuyler's  father: — 

"As  I  have  noted  the  ever  growing  list  of  old  Andover  boys 
who  have  so  willingly  given  their  lives  for  humanity  and  the 
establishment  of  God's  eternal  principles  of  righteousness  and 
justice,  it  has  seemed  to  me  as  if  it  could  not  be  mere  accident 
that  has  decreed  that  the  best  should  be  first  taken,  and  on 
the  first  list  of  our  thirty  boys, — ^heroes  all, — are  the  names 
of  many  of  the  strongest,  the  most  promising,  and  the  cleanest 
boys  it  has  been  my  privilege  as  a  schoolmaster  to  know." 

Charles  Grant  Littlefield,  '19,  as  a  member  of 
the  Andover  Ambulance  Unit,  served  in  the  French 
camion  service  from  May  until  October,  1917.  He 
was  then  honorably  discharged  from  the  French 
Army,  but  was  rejected  by  the  American  Army  on 
account  of  physical  disability.  He  returned  to  his 
father's  home  in  Toronto,  and,  on  April  1,  1918,'  en- 
listed, with  George  Lawrence,  another  Andover  boy, 
in  the  Canadian  Flying  Corps,  which  later  became  the 
British  Royal  Air  Force.  At  the  time  of  the  signing  of 
the  armistice  he  was  still  a  cadet  aviator,  and,  together 
with  all  other  members  of  the  Royal  Air  Force  in 
Canada,  was  honorably  discharged  from  service.

AMBULANCE  UNIT 

John  McKnight  Sawhill,  '20,  after  arriving  in 
France,  went  with  most  of  the  other  members  of  the 
unit  into  camion  service,  but,  in  July,  1917,  enlisted 
as  a  private  in  the  United  States  Army,  Aviation 
Corps.  After  training  at  Tours,  he  received,  in  No- 
vember, his  brevet  as  a  Military  Pilot  Aviator.  He  was 
sent  for  special  training  in  combat  work  to  the  Ameri- 
can Flying  School  at  Issoudun,  and  was  there,  in 
December,  commissioned  as  a  First  Lieutenant.  On 
January  4  he  fell  about  six  hundred  feet  to  the  ground, 
being  fortunate  to  escape  with  a  broken  upper  left 
arm.  He  was  sent  to  the  hospital,  over  which  his 
friends,  "Bill"  Taylor  and  Harold  Buckley,  used  to 
fly  almost  every  day.  Taylor,  indeed,  flew  so  low  that 
an  order  was  published  at  the  school  forbidding  any- 
one to  "perform  acrobatics  over  towns  or  hospitals." 
SawhilFs  arm  refused  to  knit,  and  he  was  obliged  to 
remain  under  care  until  November,  when  he  was  al- 
lowed to  sail  for  home.  After  landing  at  Newport 
News,  November  18,  he  was  sent  to  Fort  McHenry 
for  further  treatment.  Sawhill  was  Jack  Wright's 
roommate  in  the  camion  service,  and  Wright  speaks 
of  the  former  in  his  letters,  published  in  the  volume 
A  Poet  of  the  Air. 

Frank  Mathias  Talmage,  '18,  of  Great  Barrington, 
Massachusetts,  after  completing  his  period  of  service 
in  camion  and  ambulance  work,  enlisted  in  the  Ameri- 
can Army  as  a  private,  and  was  later  commissioned, 
on  February  18,  1918,  as  a  Second  Lieutenant  in  the 
Quartermaster  Corps.  He  was  stationed  at  Brest, 
France. 

William  Henry  Taylor,  Jr.,  '18,  whose  dramatic 
death  in  combat  on  September  18,  1918,  has  already 

201 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

been  described,  was  probably  the  most  skilful  and 
daring  of  the  younger  American  aviators.  His  ex- 
ploits at  Issoudun  were  remembered  for  months  after 
he  left  there, — especially  his  feat  of  flying  under  low- 
hanging  wires  into  a  hospital  court  and  then  out  over 
the  enclosing  wall,  a  "stunt"  which  few  airmen  would 
have  cared  to  attempt.  Brief  though  his  career  was,  he 
had  already  made  himself  a  name  which  is  memorable 
in  the  history  of  American  aviation. 

He  was  popular  with  everybody.  Lieutenant  Bruce 
C.  Hopper  describes  him  at  Toul  as  one  of  the  "Four 
Musketeers" : — 

"Big  Bill  Taylor  was  Porthos ;  Jack  Sawhill,  the  fiery  en- 
thusiast, was  d'Artagnan;  I,  because  of  my  few  additional 
years  and  gravity,  was  Athos ;  and  Jack  Wright  was  Aramis." 

One  of  the  youngest  of  the  Andover  Unit,  he  was  also 
one  of  the  most  brilliant.  Nothing  could  repress  his 
ardent  spirit  or  daunt  his  impetuous  soul. 


Percy  Weston  Wanamaker,  '17,  was  a  member  of 
the  first  Andover  Ambulance  Unit,  and  was  stationed 
in  the  Champagne  District  in  Section  Sanitaire  Amer- 
icaine  No.  27.  On  July  21,  1917,  he  wrote: — 

"We  have  been  very  fortunate  in  going  right  to  the  front 
line  posts  the  second  day  out  and  have  done  a  lot  of  work. 
We  are  in  a  lively  sector ;  in  fact  the  most  lively  of  the  French 
front.  .  .  .  The  first  place  we  were  working  consisted  of  two 
first  line  posies  de  secours  which  required  five  cars,  and  evac- 
uation work  at  the  field  hospital  which  kept  ^ve  more  cars 
busy.  The  French  had  two  successful  attacks  while  we  were 
there  and  during  that  time  there  were  15  cars  going  steadily. 
.  .  .  We  were  sent  to  the  posies  de  secours  for  48  hours  at  a 
time.  One  fellow  tried  to  see  how  long  he  could  sleep  at  one

time  during  the  night  out  there.  He  tried  often,  and  35  min- 
utes was  his  record ;  so  you  can  see  we  were  pretty  busy." 

Another  experience  reads  as  follows: — 

"I  was  going  to  a  post  in  the  third  line  trench.  It  was  night 
as  it  would  be  impossible  to  go  there  during  the  day.  We  got 
out  of  the  gas,  which  is  thrown  in  shells,  and  were  within 
14  mile  of  the  trench  when  two  'black  marias'  lit  one  on  each 
side  of  the  road  50  yards  ahead.  We  cut  through  the  black 
smoke.  That  wasn't  so  bad,  but  after  we  had  reached  the  post 
and  were  speaking  to  a  Frenchman  about  going  down  into  the 
dugout,  a  shell  exploded  in  the  same  trench  and  not  15  yards 
away.  I  can  see  the  flash  of  the  explosion  yet  and  just  won- 
dered which  one  of  us  would  get  it ;  but  we  didn't  get  touched, 
and  the  Frenchman  wasted  no  time  in  showing  us  down  the 
stairs  of  an  old  German  dugout,  more  than  25  feet  deep.  The 
next  day  we  saw  that  the  shell  had  split  so  that  three  pieces 
formed  three  fourths  of  the  shell.  This  saved  us." 

In  November,  1917,  when  the  Americans  took  over 
the  ambulance  forces,  Wanamaker  was  rejected  be- 
cause of  poor  eyesight.  He  returned  home,  arriving 
November  28,  1917.  On  May  1,  1918,  however,  he  en- 
listed in  the  Coast  Artillery  Corps  and  sailed  on  Sep- 
tember 18  for  France  with  the  54th  Regiment. 

Harold  Burton  Whipp,  '19,  after  completing  most 
creditably  his  period  of  enlistment  with  the  Andover 
Unit,  returned  to  this  country.  He  graduated  with  his 
class  at  Phillips  Academy  in  June,  1919. 

Henry  Cutler  Wolfe,  '20,  after  driving  six  months 
in  the  French  camion  service,  went  to  Italy,  on  De- 
cember 6,  1917,  as  an  ambulance  driver  with  the 
American  Red  Cross.  He  served  until  July  3,  1918, 
and  then  tried  to  enlist  in  aviation,  but  was  rejected. 
Returning  to  America,  he  entered  Kenyon  College  as 

203 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

a  member  of  the  Student  Army  Training  Camp  there, 
in  which  he  held  the  rank  of  Sergeant.  He  was  honor- 
ably discharged  on  December  14,  1918. 


Jack  Morris  Wright,  '17,  of  New  York  City  en- 
tered aviation  and,  shortly  after  winning  his  commis- 
sion as  First  Lieutenant,  was  killed,  January  24, 1918, 
by  an  accidental  fall  of  his  plane.  In  his  letters,  pub- 
lished under  the  title  A  Poet  of  the  Air,  he  frequently 
mentions  the  Andover  Unit.  In  May,  shortly  after  his 
arrival  in  France,  he  went  with  a  transport  section  to 
carry  munitions  up  to  the  front.  "The  work  is  that  of 
a  man  and  will  probably  make  men  of  us  all,"  he  wrote. 
Again  he  said : — 

"I  am  on  a  trip  of  adventure  and  am  therefore  rushed  with 
new  adventure  every  minute  of  my  life.  As  a  result  I  am  be- 
coming more  as  ye  ancient  adventurer  who  rode  the  moonlit 
highways  long  ago  with  a  rapier  by  his  side  and  a  swear-word 
for  a  bible." 

Later  the  camion  service  seemed  to  him  unworthy  of 
young  men: — 

"I  have  no  right  to  the  comradeship  of  men  who  put  no 
price  to  their  lives  or  at  least  who  have  the  grit  to  stand  up 
for  some  god  or  other.  If  a  man  can't  come  over  here  to  fight, 
he  has  no  right  to  share  with  the  fighters — to  enjoy  the 
beauty  of  a  land  that's  waging  war — to  seek  the  sympathy  of 
women  in  mourning." 

In  July,  therefore,  he  entered  the  aviation  service: — 

"I  have  just  taken  the  biggest  step  of  my  life — not  through 
bewilderment  or  through  morbidness,  but  coolly  and  decid- 
edly, obeying  to  a  call  that  for  me  dominates  the  world  and 
its  many  voices." 

204 


AMBULANCE  UNIT 

On  September  1,  when  he  had  secured  his  uniform  as 
a  private  in  the  American  Army,  he  wrote  Dr.  Stearns 
of  his  decision,  in  a  letter  which  speaks  eloquently  of 
the  affection  and  admiration  which  he  and  the  other 
boys  of  the  unit  felt  for  the  Principal : — 

"At  first  we  were  satisfied  with  automobile  service,  but  in 
continuation  with  that  same  spirit  we  had  cultivated  back  on 
Brothers'  Field,  we,  as  a  majority,  have  joined  the  American 
Aviation  with  the  ambition  of  representing  the  place  we  came 
from,  to  your  complete  satisfaction,  for  though  a  third  of  a 
year  and  three  thousand  miles  away,  we  still  take  pride  in 
saying,  after  a  good  piece  of  work,  'I  guess  Al  would  be 
pleased  at  that.  .  .  .'  Since  we  have  been  over  here  we  have 
learned  to  sympathize  with  more  than  the  'Rah-rah'  side  of 
life,  and  to  perfect  our  first  comprehension  of  the  words  you 
endeavored  to  brand  us  with.  We  thank  you  for  it — for  the 
foreword  you  gave  to  this  larger  outlook;  for  the  warning, 
the  guiding,  the  inspiration  we  owe  you.  ...  It  would  not  be 
irrelevant  to  add  that  half  the  Andover  Unit  is  now  in  train- 
ing and  shall  soon  be  the  'Commissioned  Flying'  Andover 
Unit,  in  the  service  of  America,  just  as  in  former  wars." 

In  their  training  as  flyers  he  and  Jack  Sawhill  were 
rivals,  in  a  friendly  fashion,  until  the  latter  had  the 
unfortunate  fall  which  broke  his  arm  and  put  him  per- 
manently out  of  aviation.  On  January  19  Lieutenant 
Wright  began  taking  spirals : — 

"That  will  be  the  beginning  of  more  rapidly  succeeding 
and  more  vital  points  of  interest;  that  is,  more  dangerous 
slips  and  drops  to  be  caught  up  in  true,  more  business-like, 
warlike  flying." 

Five  days  later,  in  a  practice  flight,  he  was  killed.  His 
friend,  Lieutenant  Bruce  C.  Hopper,  wrote  of  him : — 

"To  one  as  temperamentally  constructed  as  Jack,  all  this 
marvellous  phenomenon  of  the  sixth  sense,  the  'feel'  of  flying, 

205 


PHILLIPS  ACADEMY  IN  THE  WAR 

was  an  endless  study.  He  loved  it  all,  and  made  others  under- 
stand it  better  because  of  his  finer  perceptions.  Other  than 
his  beautiful  personality  I  think  this,  the  appreciation  of  the 
powers  of  the  air,  was  Jack's  greatest  contribution  to  the 
pioneers  of  American  aviation  in  France.  As  the  dreamer  of 
real  castles  in  the  air.  Jack  shall  long  be  remembered."

JAMES  PARKER,  '70 

MAJOR  GENERAL,  U.  S.  A. 

James  Parker,  after  graduating  from  Phillips  Acad- 
emy in  the  class  of  1870,  went  to  Rutgers  and  to  West 
Point,  from  which  he  was  commissioned  in  1876,  as  a 
Second  Lieutenant  in  the  4th  Cavalry.  He  served  with 
distinction  in  several  Indian  campaigns,  and  was  later 
in  Cuba  and  the  Philippines.  For  valor  displayed  in 
the  Spanish  War  he  was  awarded  a  Congressional 
Medal  of  Honor.  During  the  Mexican  trouble  in  1916, 
he  was  stationed  on  the  Rio  Grande,  and,  when  Gen- 
eral Pershing  was  sent  to  France  as  commander  of  the 
American  Expeditionary  Forces,  it  was  Brigadier 
General  Parker  who  succeeded  him  as  head  of  the 
Southern  Department.  On  August  22,  1917,  he  re- 
ceived his  commission  as  Major  General,  and  was 
assigned  as  Commanding  General  of  the  32d  Division. 
He  saw  active  service  in  France  in  October  near 
Peronne  and  Armentieres  and  at  the  battle  of  Mal- 
maison,  October  23-30.  In  December  he  was  trans- 
ferred to  the  85th  Division,  and,  on  February  20, 
1918,  having  reached  the  age  of  statutory  retirement, 
retired  to  private  life. 

General  Parker,  who  was  a  veteran  cavalryman, 
was  known  along  the  Mexican  border  as  "Galloping 
Jim."  No  officer  in  the  United  States  Army  has  had  a 
more  distinguished  record  as  a  trainer  of  troops,  and 
his  work  in  organizing  and  preparing  the  men  for  the 
National  Army  has  been  of  the  highest  order.

MAJOR  GENERAL  HENRY  G.  SHARPE,  'T6 

COMMANDING  GENERAL,   SOUTHEASTERN  DEPARTMENT,    U.   S.  A. 


HENRY  GRANVILLE  SHARPE,  '76 

MAJOR  GENERAL,  U.  S.  A. 

Henry  Granville  Sharpe,  after  spending  two  years 
at  Phillips  Academy  in  1873-75,  went  to  Rutgers  and 
West  Point,  graduating  from  the  latter  institution 
in  1880.  Appointed  a  Captain  in  the  Subsistence 
Department  by  President  Arthur,  he  rose  rapidly 
through  the  various  ranks  until  he  became  Brigadier 
General.  Several  important  books  of  his  on  problems 
of  army  supply  gave  him  prestige,  and  in  1912,  when 
the  present  Quartermaster  Corps  was  established, 
General  Sharpe  was  made  Acting  Quartermaster 
General.  He  received  his  full  appointment  to  this 
office  in  1916. 

With  the  entrance  of  the  United  States  into  the 
Great  War,  General  Sharpe's  experience  became  ex- 
ceedingly valuable.  The  establishment  of  the  Quarter- 
master Training  Camp  at  Camp  Johnston,  Jackson- 
ville, Florida,  was  due  mainly  to  his  foresight,  and  the 
plans  for  its  operation  were  laid  down  by  him.  In  the 
spring  of  1918,  General  Sharpe  was  made  a  member 
of  the  War  Council,  and  a  month  or  two  later  he  was 
given  an  appointment  as  Major  General  in  the  line  of 
the  army.  It  was  on  this  occasion  that  President  Wil- 
son wrote  him,  "You  may  be  sure  that  it  gave  me  a 
great  deal  of  pleasure  to  have  an  opportunity  to  show 
my  confidence  in  you  by  conferring  the  promotion 
which  you  had  earned."  General  Sharpe  was  then  as- 
signed as  Commanding  General  of  the  Southeastern 
Department,  a  position  which  he  still  holds. 

General  Sharpe  is  a  diligent  student  and  a  tireless 
worker,  capable  of  handling  intricate  problems  with- 
out friction  or  delay.  He  is  popular  both  with  soldiers 
and  civilians,  and  has  an  enviable  record  of  achieve- 
ment.

DIRECTOR,    MILITARY   INTELLIGENCE  DIVISION 
OFFICER   OF  THE  LEGION  OF   HONOR 


MARLBOROUGH  CHURCHILL,  '96 

BRIGADIER  GENERAL,  U.  S.  A. 

Marlborough  Churchill  of  Andover,  son  of  Pro- 
fessor John  W.  Churchill,  after  graduating  from 
Harvard,  was  commissioned,  on  July  16,  1901,  as 
Second  Lieutenant  in  the  Artillery  Corps,  and  was 
advanced  successively  to  be  First  Lieutenant,  Cap- 
tain, and  Major  in  the  regular  establishment.  In  Jan- 
uary, 1916,  he  was  sent  abroad  as  American  Military 
Observer  with  the  French  armies,  and  served  until 
June,  1917,  when  he  was  transferred  to  the  General 
Staff,  American  Expeditionary  Forces.  His  promo- 
tion to  be  Lieutenant- Colonel  in  the  National  Army 
came  on  August  5,  1917.  From  February  to  May, 
1918,  he  was  Acting  Chief  of  Staff  for  the  1st 
American  Army,  but  on  June  12  was  promoted  to  be 
Colonel  and  assigned  as  Chief,  Military  Intelligence 
Branch,  General  Staff.  In  August  he  was  returned  to 
America  as  Director,  Military  Intelligence  Division, 
General  Staff,  War  Department,  and  advanced  to  the 
rank  of  Brigadier  General,  United  States  Army.  On 
December  14  he  was  sent  to  France  on  special  duty 
with  the  American  Commission  to  Negotiate  Peace, 
but  was  recalled  in  April,  1919,  to  duty  in  Washing- 
ton. He  has  been  decorated  as  an  Officer  of  the  French 
Legion  of  Honor,  as  a  Commander  of  the  Crown  of 
Italy,  and  as  a  Commander  of  the  Belgian  Order  of 
Leopold. 

General  Churchill's  services  as  Director  of  the  Mili- 
tary Intelligence  Division  have  won  him  commenda- 
tion from  the  highest  authorities,  and  the  criticism 
which  has  been  directed  at  some  departments  of  gov- 
ernmental administration  has  always  passed  him  by. 
No  officer  in  Washington  has  shown  himself  to  be 
more  experienced,  more  reliable,  or  more  efficient.

ROLL  OF  HONOR 

The  number  of  Andover  men  in  service  having  proved  to  be  conn 
siderably  greater  than  was  originally  thought,  it  has  been  necessary  to 
shorten  the  space  that  could  be  devoted  to  each  individual  soldier, 
sailor,  or  marine.  Accordingly  certain  abbreviations  in  common  use 
have  been  freely  employed,  and  a  list  of  them  is  here  presented  for

If  we  add  to  this  list  the  men  in  Y. 
Cross  work,  the  grand  total  is  2222. 

Of  the  total  number  in  active  military,  naval,  or 
marine  service,  the  proportion  of  officers  and  enlisted 
men  is  as  follows : — 


Officers  of  Army  and  Marines

The  proportion  of  officers  to  the  whole  number  of 
men  in  service  is  therefore  about  58.6  per  cent,  an 
extraordinarily  high  percentage  when  it  is  remem- 
bered how  many  Phillips  Academy  men  have  been 
enrolled  as  privates  in  branches  of  the  Student  Army 
Training  Corps. 

A  study  of  the  1030  men  who  won  commissions 
in  the  Army  and  Marines  shows  them  divided 
follows : —

It  remains  only  to  state  the  obvious  fact, — that  the 
list  as  presented  is  not  complete.  Many  records  have 
been  sent  in  without  names  attached,  and  without  any

clue  to  the  sender.  In  other  eases  no  response  has 
been  made  to  repeated  appeals  for  information.  Pos- 
sibly ten  years  from  now  a  list  can  be  prepared  which 
will  contain  the  name  of  every  man  who  was  at  any 
time  during  the  Great  War  in  the  service  of  the 
United  States  or  her  Allies ;  but  even  then  it  is  prob- 
able that  men  will  be  overlooked.  The  present  record 
has  the  advantage  of  timeliness;  and,  with  all  its  im- 
perfections on  its  head,  it  is  a  convincing  proof  of  the 
spirit  with  which  an  American  school  responded  to 
the  call  of  the  nation  in  time  of  danger.
